Radical Rest Retreat: Turning Inward with
Yoga, Meditation, and Self-Care
February 12th - February 16th | with Christy McKenzie
Internationally recognized yoga teacher, death doula, and breast cancer thriver, Christy McKenzie, will lead a four-night retreat for attuning to earth’s wintertime wisdom, refining our inner listening, and crafting personal practices for lasting well-being, healing, and resilience far beyond the container of our gathering.
The recently released insightful and best-selling book by Elena Brower, Hold Nothing, will focus our time together and support earnest inner endeavors. Sweaters, soups, stews, saunas, sacred movement, simple meditations, sound baths, sitting fireside, sweet sleeps, self-care rituals, stillness, and silence will nourish our bodies, minds, and souls in profound ways.
This restorative time spent in the potency of Firecreek Retreat’s 70 wooded acres in North Carolina’s magical Blue Ridge Mountains, just north of Asheville, will be exactly what our nervous systems long for, and we’ll return to our lives recharged and renewed in radically restorative ways.

Welcome to Firecreek
We purchased the property in 2021, in an effort to both heal ourselves, and as small offering to help heal the planet. Aside from our small family unit enjoying the magical land here, our aim is to share it with others, by way of hosting retreats, workshops, and short term rentals. Retreats include yoga and meditation, leadership, art, photography and nature immersion, fly fishing and hiking, as well culinary, foraging, and regenerative agriculture.
