June 4th - 7th, 2026: Timed with the luminous early summer days of the Blue Ridge Mountains, stunning sunrises, and comfortable mountain temperatures, we will gather in a shared field of natural beauty to explore subtle and energy-body practices spanning multiple wisdom traditions.
Our days weave together Shiatsu, Qigong, Pranayama and breathwork, meditation, and the Peter Hess Method of sound bath paired with Yoga Nidra. Through experiential Ayurvedic nutrition and elemental theory, we’ll explore how the forces of nature express themselves within our own bodies—guiding balance, vitality, and self-understanding. Practices are offered with spaciousness and choice; many sessions are optional, allowing you to follow your own rhythm of rest, participation, and integration.
Each participant will receive a private Shiatsu session, offering individualized support and deep nervous system nourishment.
Highlights include:
Daily subtle body and energy practices across multiple traditions
Elemental theory woven through movement, breath, sound, and nutrition
Private one-on-one Shiatsu session for each participant
Peter Hess sound healing with Yoga Nidra
Experiential Ayurvedic meals and nourishment
Optional sessions with ample time for rest and reflection
Hot tub soaking and breathtaking Shenandoah Valley views
Unforgettable sunrises
This is a retreat for those longing to attune, restore, and dwell in the quieter layers of being—held by mountains, sky, and shared practice.
