Let nature nurture you.

🌳Step into the calming embrace of nature beneath the forest canopy along Florida’s serene Nature Coast in Inverness. This 4-day, 3-night retreat is designed to be your sanctuary—a peaceful, nature-inspired setting infused with holistic wellness experiences to nurture your body, mind, and spirit.

🌳As winter settles in and the rush of the holiday season fades, it's common to feel overwhelmed by the weight of expectations or the pressure to leap into the new year with clarity and direction.

But you don’t have to go it alone.

🌳This retreat was lovingly created to offer you a safe, supportive space—where healing, connection, and renewal are not only possible, but they’re also the priority.

PLEASE NOTE: There are organized activities, as well as free time. You are under no obligation to attend everything. Please honor what feels most nourishing and supportive for you in any given moment. No fancy yoga clothes needed- come as you are.  We look forward to connecting 

with you!

FULL CIRCLE RETREATS

✨INDOOR ACCOMMODATIONS:

The main house of the wellness retreat venue stands as a beacon of tranquility amidst the lush forest setting. This sprawling sanctuary boasts over 5,000 square feet of thoughtfully curated indoor space.

Intentionally designed, the guest rooms within the main house embody their own unique sanctuary, offering a private haven for relaxation and renewal. From the earthy tones of reclaimed wood accents to the soft hues of organic linens, every element is chosen to evoke a sense of peace and harmony.  *Each guest room has an ensuite bathroom

✨OUTDOOR ACCOMMODATIONS:

About 75 yards from the main house, you'll find (3) All-Weather Elevated Yurts and (2) Sleep-Sheds, adorned with soft linens and plush pillows; shared outdoor enclosed shower (with clear ceiling) and bathroom; (2) indoor showers and (2) indoor bathrooms in a bathhouse.

THE LAND:

The retreat venue borders the Withlacoochee State Forest with horse trails adjacent to the property and direct access to 18 hiking trails within the state forest. 

Float or swim in the pool and/or opt for a soak in the warm tub under the sun and stars, read a book on a hammock, relax in the salt cave, birdwatch on the back porch, tap into your indoor child in the art nook and music rooms. 

Spend time on the mini farm in which the animals aren't just residents; they're integral members of the healing community. They offer solace in their silent companionship, teach us the art of living in the present moment, and remind us of the profound interconnectedness of all beings.

🌲Inverness is located on Florida's Nature Coast surrounded by fresh crystal blue springs, small working farms, and large oak & pine trees. It's about an hour northeast of Tampa and about an hour southwest of Ocala.

Downtown Inverness is a small but quaint town located on the scenic Tsala Apopka chain of lakes. Tree-lined streets of old Florida homes that all seem to end at a lake, pedestrian and bike-friendly, kitschy antique shops and delightful dining spots make this a town that continually surprises. 

The closest airports are Gainesville Regional (60 miles), Tampa International (60 miles) and Orlando International (78 miles).  We can help you arrange ground transportation.

More than a facial, this is an immersive ritual of botanical care, intentional touch, and deep restoration. While the retreat offers the beauty of shared connection, this experience creates a dedicated space for one-on-one care ~ an opportunity to step away, be fully tended to, and reconnect with yourself. Created to nourish both skin and soul, each session invites the body into a state of ease through botanical skincare, intentional touch, and gentle energetic practices. Guests leave feeling grounded, radiant, and deeply renewed.

Each session includes:

• A dedicated one-on-one experience within the retreat, offering quiet time to rest, receive, and reconnect with yourself

• A personalized holistic facial tailored to your skin’s unique needs

• Organic, botanical, high-vibrational skincare thoughtfully selected to nourish and support the skin naturally

• Relaxing facial, neck, shoulder, and décolleté massage

• Lymphatic techniques to encourage circulation, reduce tension, and restore flow

• Gentle energetic balancing to support deep relaxation and nervous system regulation

• Sound therapy woven throughout the experience

This offering is included in your retreat experience!
