Come visit for a weekend.
Hi, this is where I live and work!
Hope Springs, perched atop Peach Mountain in Appalachian Ohio, has held sacred space for transformative experiences for 29 years. Home to 30 acres of biodiverse woodlands, meadows and ponds, and surrounded by protected forest, the land calls us to slow down, listen deeply, and build connection.
It’s so special here.
July 18-21 I’m hosting a Personal Retreat Weekend. An invitation for respite, rest, and reflection, a few days of nurturing care and space for whatever needs space.
Bring:
The project you’ve been working on, the book you’ve been wanting to read, the curiosity you’ve been stoking, the song you’ve been singing, the thought you’ve been wanting to think or the feeling you’ve been waiting to feel.
Come as you are.
Be supported by:
Nourishing meals, community practice, space to wander, space to wonder, time in nature.
Loosely held, this personal retreat weekend offers lots of time for individual explorations and a few anchors of community based practices that you are welcome to attend or not attend based on your interest and needs. It’s okay to seclude yourself for the weekend, or seek out connection around the fire. There are so many ways to be together.
Guided offerings over the weekend include:
Daily meditation and fire in the Spirit House, a traditional Hope Springs practice, hosted by me and the shruti box
Land teaching, eco-therapy experience / forest bathing
Sound bath with Stacey Pickering
Community Breathwork with Libby Smith
Yin Yoga practice
and plenty of space for Self-Guided offerings which might include:
Walking your way through the 11 circuit labyrinth
Lighting a fire in the outdoor fire pit (s’mores provided!)
Exploring the walking or hiking trails here
Soaking in the hot tub under the night stars
Lingering in the rocking chairs, hammocks or finding places to sprawl out
Engaging in creative practice (art supplies provided)
Movement practice in the studio or on the land (yoga props and mats available for use)
Exploring the trails at nearby Arc of Appalachia reserves or visiting World Heritage site, Serpent Mound
Sliding Scale pricing, camping available, too!
