Cozy Forest Retreat [Bonus Episode]

Hi everyone! I wanted to create a bonus episode to talk a little bit about the upcoming Cozy Forest Retreat and give you a look inside so that you can get a feel for what it’s like to attend.

The Cozy Forest Retreat is an annual retreat that I host with Jane of Jane Carter Coaching each November. 

And this year, we are only opening it up to 5 attendees to create plenty of coziness, and ample time and space to ensure that you are fully supported in your life and business.

I’ll start with describing what it’s like to be at the Cozy Forest Retreat. Well, it’s actually hard to describe such beauty, but I’ll give it my best shot. 

We’ll gather at the tranquil Indigo Nature Retreat in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, in the heart of Pisgah National Forest in Western North Carolina. The Indigo Nature Retreat is set on 5 acres, with over 1,000 acres of undisturbed natural forest in its backyard. 

There’s a main lodge where we'll gather for nourishing meals together. We’ll mastermind in the spacious living room of the lodge in front of a cozy fireplace. The grounds host a beautiful fire pit for gathering and toasting up s’mores. 

There are 5 elegant bird nest cabins tucked away among the relaxing sounds of the nearby creek. Each cabin is clean and climate controlled, with a private porch, mini-fridge, coffee/tea maker, and personal fire pit. 

Within steps of the cabins there’s a community barn that features 2 full bathrooms (including showers), a community kitchen, and an indoor dining area. 

While at the retreat you’ll receive comforting catered meals as well as plenty of tea, coffee, and snacks. We’ll have a relaxing and renewing gentle yoga class. And each attendee can opt for a professional massage. 

There will be a mix of helpful business teachings, experiential activities, and guided meditations, as well as supportive masterminding and individual coaching sessions with myself and Jane. 

There’s also plenty of downtime. And, remember, that everything at the retreat is optional, so if you just need some rest and relaxation, feel free to get cozied up in your cabin and recharge. 

Oh, and you’ll receive a goodie bag full of cozy surprises upon arrival at your cabin, and you’ll also get a sweet surprise in the mail before the retreat.

There’s so much more that I could say about the retreat, but I’ll leave you with a few words from our previous retreat attendees…

"I left the retreat with so much. Way more than I can even say in words. I realized I really NEED to take time more often to truly rest & recharge - in big ways and little ways, through time away like this & by creating more space in my days."

"I am leaving with a renewed clarity on my priorities. What was overwhelming & jumbled before is now calm & ordered." 

"I appreciated the hospitality, care you put into the retreat, & you being part of the community the whole time."

"I left the retreat with a sense of clarity. A realization that I'm on the right path with my business & my life. I needed rest & connection & that’s exactly what I got."

"I learned that I can run my business from a place of quiet intention. I loved the calmness you all bring & the exploration of our business meeting our needs as well as vice versa."

"I loved the way you presented yourselves & your materials in a relaxed/causal & conversational way. It felt like sharing deep time with new friends.” 

If you’re a previous retreat attendee and are listening right now, I just want to say thank you for your kind words and for your presence. It wouldn’t have been the same without you. 

Last year’s Cozy Forest Retreat sold out quickly, so we hope you’ll apply and join us in this beautiful, tranquil setting. 

If you’re interested in attending, you’ll need to apply during the month of September to get the early bird rate, and applications will be open throughout the end of October or until the 5 spots are filled.

Here’s a little P.S.

I’m also hosting a series of, what I call, Tiny Retreats. These are cozy little retreats in the Asheville area with room for 3-4 attendees. 

Here’s the titles and brief descriptions of a few of the retreats that are currently in the works…

Healing The Witch Wound: A Tiny, Cozy Retreat to Step into Your Magick & Embrace Your Soul’s Calling (This retreat will help you step into a quiet power and an unwavering belief in yourself.)

You Are Stardust: A Tiny, Cozy Retreat to Discover Your Cosmic Purpose (In this retreat we will dive into specific astrological placements in your birth chart - North & South Nodes, Midheaven, Chiron, and Black Moon Lilith - so you can better understand your unique path.)

Design Your Aligned Life: A Tiny, Cozy Retreat to Align with Hive Mind & Human Design (This retreat will have a special focus on Generator and Manifesting Generator Human Design types, as well as space for magick and masterminding to support you in living a more aligned life.) 

In addition to these tiny retreats which will be 2-3 nights, I’m working on my Signature Tiny Retreat Experience which will be 5-7 days of Deep Work & Deep Rest with healthy dose of fun and meaningful connection in a beautiful historic lodge in Asheville, North Carolina. There will be fun and relaxing excursions and a swag bag that will blow your mind. I’m just getting the details together, but this is an experience that I’m beyond excited about. This retreat will be both cozy and luxurious, so be prepared for the price tag to reflect that. 

You can sign up for the Retreat Interest List at mountainpracticejourneys.com/retreat/ Once you are on the list, you will get advanced notice of all retreats, as well as priority application, so if you think you may be interested in a retreat now or in the future, be sure to get on the list. 

I hope to see you at a retreat soon! May The Forest Be With You
