Rising Through the Muck.

A Soul-Nourishing Retreat for Deep Healing, Connection, and Renewal

Are you craving a reset?

Do you feel like you’ve been stuck in the muck, caught between who you’ve been and who you’re becoming?

This retreat is a space to honor that heaviness, to breathe life back into the parts of yourself that have been waiting to rise. Over Valentine’s weekend, we’ll gather in the Blue Ridge Mountains to reconnect with our breath, our bodies, and our hearts.

Through gentle movements, sound, shared ceremony, and Soul-centered conversation, we’ll remember that the muck isn’t a mistake, it’s the medicine that grows the lotus.

If so, this retreat is for you.

    • Opening & Closing Ceremonies- intentional circle in the gazebo or near the fire pit to hold container and closing.

    • Sunrise Pranayama & Movement(indoors)- breathwork, somatic/ nervous system sessions, tapping shaking, grounding inner movement to release stagnation.

    • Cacao Ceremony & Connection – Heart-opening rituals in a sacred space

    • Sauna & Sacred Rest– Time to soak, sit quietly, rest between sessions.

    • Community & Satsang Evenings – Meaningful conversations, storytelling, and shared wisdom

    • Two workshops- TBD these two workshops will be in the same wheelhouse of rising through the muck and will be heart-led by co-creators.

    • Nourishing Meals- wholesome brunches and dinners curated to support healing and vitality.

    This retreat is screen-free to encourage true presence and connection. There will be designated times to check in with loved ones, but the focus is on deep rest and renewal.

  • We’ll be gathering at White Lotus Eco Spa Retreat in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, a serene, eco-luxury sanctuary that blends artful design with natural simplicity. Each space has its own character- think Castle vibes, Bali touches, and Zen-barn warmth- inviting you to rest, reconnect, and rise through your own transformation.

    Choose from a range of uniquely designed rooms:

    • Private Suites & Sanctuaries - cozy, light-filled rooms most of which come with private bathrooms and touches of reclaimed wood and mountain charm.

    • AC/Heat and hot water in each room.

    • Common Spaces- access to the sauna, meditation lofts, nature trails, fire pit and quiet corners for journaling or rest.

    The property is infused with sacred geometry, eco-friendly design, and elemental beauty- from the stone archways and castle corridors to the handcrafted details that invite reflection.

    Whether you’re soaking in the warmth of the wood-fired sauna, curling up with tea by the fire, or resting beneath the mountain sky, every space here is an invitation to slow down and reconnect with yourself and the Earth.
