A five-day ceremonial immersion in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains — returning to the original medicines that have held communities together throughout human history.
Held at Wheels of Bliss Retreat Center, a 63-acre sanctuary of old-growth forest, waterfalls, and sacred Appalachian land bordering Pisgah National Forest, this retreat is an invitation to come home — to your body, your voice, your belonging.
Guided by Alexander Awakens and Georgia Be, we gather as a small community of 12–15 to move, sing, dance, sit in silence, and tell the stories that set us free. All meals are lovingly prepared by Chef Matt Buddenstein using local and organic ingredients from nearby farms.
