As autumn leaves begin their ritual of release, longtime collaborators and expert educators of yoga & subtle body work, Christy McKenzie and Jodi Carey invite you to a four-night retreat in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, just north Asheville. Through yoga, meditation, ritualized movement, and reflection in nature, we’ll explore the practice of allowing and softening into “our” truest nature. A return to self, a “letting be” — through spacious awareness we begin to access greater ease and connection to our most expansive SELF.

Participants can expect daily rituals, alignment-based asana, somatic exploration, yoga nidra, sauna, hydrotherapy, forest bathing, and deep slowing down, all guided by the beauty and wisdom of Nature’s rhythms at this auspicious time of year. Autumn’s exhale will be our guide in our ability to Let Be and dissolve our identity into more expansive, easeful presence. 

Firecreek Retreat is a 65- acre forested hollow with palpable healing energy that soothes the nervous system and awes the mind. Participants will stay in consciously-appointed, rustically modern dwellings that prioritize nourishing comfort, organic textiles and modern convenience. Organic and local food is highlighted as are wellness activities like hydrotherapy and forest immersion. The space affords an intimate retreat experience that feels more like coming to a beloved mountain residence than a corporate/hotel retreat center. Please join us for this very special time together.
