Meet the Women Behind the Experience (Sacred Retreat Experience)

As we begin to lean into fall, life has a way of becoming full again.

Calendars begin filling. The holidays aren't far behind. There are family gatherings to think about, work that needs our attention, communities we're showing up for, and people who depend on us.

We may be mothers. Partners. Friends. Business owners. Leaders within our communities. Caregivers. The ones who remember the details, make the plans, hold things together, and make sure everyone around us feels cared for.

But in the midst of thinking about all the things and all the people we hold close, there is a question worth asking:

Are you making time for you?

Not simply an afternoon squeezed between everything else.

Not something you'll get to when the calendar finally clears.

But real, intentional time to step away, receive, reconnect, and remember what it feels like to be cared for, too.

Perhaps this fall, one of the gifts you give yourself is knowing there is something waiting for you on the other side of the holidays.

Something just for you.

Something to Look Forward to This February

In February 2027, six women will gather in the North Georgia mountains for The Heart of You, an intimate four-day, three-night retreat held within the private, gated mountain community of Big Canoe.

There is something especially meaningful about gathering women together in February.

It's the month we so often associate with love, and The Heart of You offers an opportunity to turn some of that love inward.

Think of it as a quieter, more intentional nod to Galentine's — a few days surrounded by women, meaningful conversation, beautiful meals, laughter, reflection, movement, rest, and the freedom to simply be.

Come with a friend, a sister, or someone you love — or arrive on your own and become part of the intimate circle being created.

This is your invitation to gift yourself something to look forward to.

Four Days Created Around You

The Heart of You was created as a space to step away from the rhythm of everyday life and return to your own.

Throughout the retreat, we will weave together Human Design, restorative yoga and gentle movement, sound bowls, journaling, intuitive practices, intimate breakout sessions, private one-to-one experiences, nourishing meals prepared by our private retreat chef, and spacious moments for rest and reflection.

The days aren't being created to keep you busy from morning until night.

There will be room to breathe.

Room for a conversation to linger after dinner. Room to journal in the morning. Room to move your body. Room to sit quietly. Room to connect with another woman. And room to notice what begins to surface when you aren't immediately needed somewhere else.

An Experience That Begins Within

At the center of The Heart of You is a simple question:

What becomes possible when you give yourself enough space to truly listen?

Human Design will offer an opportunity to explore your individual patterns, energy, and the ways you naturally move through the world.

Journaling and guided reflection will create space for what may be ready to surface, while restorative movement and sound bowls bring us back into the body and into the present moment.

Intimate breakout sessions will allow for deeper exploration, while private one-to-one experiences offer moments created specifically for you.

The intention isn't to tell you who you should become.

It is to create enough space for you to hear yourself.

The Face Remembers

One of the experiences woven into the retreat is The Face Remembers, an exploration of the relationship between the face, emotion, awareness, and restoration.

Guests will be introduced to facial mapping and practices that invite a different kind of attention to the face — not simply through the lens of appearance, but through curiosity about the ways our experiences may be reflected and held.

Private sessions will deepen that experience through facial care, Reiki, facial massage, energy balancing, and supportive practices.

Another opportunity to slow down.

To receive.

And to allow someone else to care for you for a moment.

Nourishment Beyond the Table

Food will hold its own place within the experience.

A private retreat chef will prepare breakfast, lunch, and dinner throughout our time together, allowing the table to become another place of gathering.

There will be conversation and laughter. There may be mornings when someone stays at the table a little longer over tea or evenings when a conversation continues long after dinner has ended.

Because some of the moments we carry home aren't necessarily the ones written into the itinerary.

They're the ones that happen in between.

Six Women. Four Days. Space to Simply Be.

Keeping The Heart of You to only six women is intentional.

It allows the experience to remain personal. It creates room for private sessions, smaller conversations, intimate breakout experiences, and the kind of connection that can be difficult to find within a larger retreat setting.

There will also be a special experience with a guest from our trusted Sacred Circle, intentionally being kept as a surprise for the women who join us.

Not everything needs to be known before you arrive.

Some moments can simply unfold.

Perhaps This Is the Gift You Give Yourself

As fall arrives and you begin thinking about everything ahead — the gatherings, celebrations, family, work, giving, planning, and showing up — perhaps you also place something on the calendar for yourself.

Four days and three nights tucked away in the North Georgia mountains.

A beautifully held space shared with only six women.

Your stay within the private, gated mountain community of Big Canoe. Nourishing breakfast, lunch, and dinner prepared by our private retreat chef. Human Design exploration. Restorative yoga and gentle movement. Sound bowls. Journaling. Intuitive practices. Intimate breakout sessions. Private one-to-one experiences. The Face Remembers. And spacious moments intentionally left open for rest, conversation, and simply being.

From the moment you arrive, the intention is for you to feel that the details have already been considered — so you don't have to be the one planning, organizing, caring for everyone else, or wondering what comes next.

For these four days, you get to receive.

The retreat investment begins at $2,444, with payment plans available, offering the flexibility to reserve your place now and look forward to this time for yourself in February.

You don't need to arrive ready to change your life.

You simply need to arrive.

The Heart of You is less about becoming someone new and more about making space to remember what has always been within you.

The Heart of You takes place in February 2027 at Big Canoe, Georgia, nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. This intimate four-day, three-night retreat is limited to six women.

Perhaps this February, the love you make space for includes a little more love for yourself.
