ALCHEMY IN THE MOUNTAINS:
Winter Gathering for Women Rising
This isn’t some retreat where you disappear from your life. It’s a girlfriends’ trip where you finally get to show up for yourself. No more waiting for the perfect time. No more holding everything together on your own.
This is your permission slip to laugh, breathe, connect, let loose, and remember the you that’s been here all along bold, free, and ready.
I see you thinking about it. You are one choice away from beginning to breakthrough this next space.
This is a time of coming home, nesting, and preparing for more than a season or a new year. You may feel a conscious shift rising in your body, a hint of change in the air, an intuition that keeps getting louder.
Your ancestors dreamed of a woman who would have the freedom to choose herself, to break patterns, and to liberate her own life. Whether you realize it yet or not, that woman is you.
If you are ready to answer that call, come join us in Asheville. We will begin to create the bridge by giving your nervous system new experiences and realities to align with.
Sometimes all it takes is a change of perspective, time away from your daily world, and the space to see what has been in your blind spot.
This is your moment to meet yourself again and step into the reinvention that has been waiting for you.
You are in the right place if you have been craving a deeper experience and a space to reconnect with yourself.
If you love art, murals, nourishing food, sacred rituals, time for reflection, laughter, meaningful conversation, and the freedom to be fully yourself, this retreat will feel like home.

We are so excited for about gathering in person. These last two years have been a preparation, a deep initiation in both life and purpose. We not only have the training and lived experience, we have supported each other through some of the most transformative seasons of our lives and into our own breakthroughs.
We have witnessed our intuition, passion, and purpose deepen not just knowing the work, but living it. Diving into our own healing until it became embodied wisdom.
We are being guided to share that presence, the energy we have cultivated together, and the love and respect we hold for one another. We are here to support you from the depth of how fully we have met ourselves and each other.
A little more about each of us.

Mentor and Soul Purpose Guide,
With a foundation in therapy and a heart rooted in energy healing, astrology, human design, and psychology, my work is about helping you feel safe enough to come home to yourself.
After my own breakthrough this past year, I learned that who we are can’t be measured by anything outside of us. Our true currency is resonance and alignment. Out authenticity.
I create spaces where your nervous system can soften and where the truth of your path becomes something you feel in your body.
Together we find the root of challenges, name the patterns, reclaim the parts you left behind, and map the rhythm of your next chapter.
Whether you are stepping into a new threshold or finding your footing after one, we move toward a life that feels like home in your body, your work, and your relationships.
You don’t need to become someone else. You only need to remember the woman you already are.
I can’t wait to meet you. -
I am on a mission to help you break free from wellness struggles, feeling stuck, and fear so you can live the life of freedom you have been envisioning. After living with chronic digestive issues for fifteen years, I fully healed my Crohn’s Disease and now live medication free while traveling the world. I blend intuitive and holistic healing with personalized guidance to help you reclaim your health, restore inner balance, and create a vibrant and fulfilling life. I offer energy work, personalized rituals, and shamanic practices to support your path.
Let’s break through what you thought was possible. Can’t wait to connect!
It all begins with a little desire for change. That tiny spark that says… maybe it’s time. Maybe I’m ready for something new.
Saying yes to yourself doesn’t have to feel big or scary. It can simply be choosing the support, the connection, and the experience your heart has been quietly asking for.
We are all creative and capable. We’ve just been taught to hide parts of ourselves. So if you’re feeling curious, open, or even a little unsure, trust that. Let this be the moment you choose you.
You deserve joy. You deserve connection. You deserve a getaway that feels like coming home.

Details, & All the Things
In-Flow Itinerary, January 22-26, 2026
Get ready for a week that feels like a deep breath of fresh mountain air. We’ll gather in a cozy, charm-filled retreat space — part home, part hideaway — where the mountains hold you, the trees breathe with you, and the space invites you to simply be.
Think: shoes off at the door, tea on the porch, soaking under the stars in the hot tub, melting into the sauna, and laughing over games on the lawn. Surrounded by trees, string lights, and crisp mountain air, you’ll have the perfect setting to exhale, reconnect, and make memories.
Hikes, Nature Preserves
Asheville is known for its breathtaking trails, waterfalls, and lush natural beauty. We’ll explore the forests, soak in the views, and reconnect with the land. Bring your comfy clothes, supportive hiking shoes, and a water bottle for our outdoor adventures. Weather permitting we will hike or do a shorter nature walk if it too chilly.
Morning + Evening Circles
Each day begins and ends in circle — a space for reflection, connection, and shared presence.
These circles are where we ground, open, and grow together.
Your time to meet yourself, meet Source, and meet the magic in each other.
Nourishing Meals
Our meals are designed to support your body and spirit. You’ll enjoy locally sourced, plant-focused dishes made with love — satisfying, comforting, and attuned to the rhythm of the day.
Our chef will accommodate any allergies or preferences to ensure you’re nourished in a way that feels just right.
Have a staple from home that you rely on? Bring it — or let us know how we can weave it into your week.

Astrology & Human Design
Guided Meditation & Breath work

Celebration
Our final evening is for ecstatic dance and meaning-making a chance to connect with the earth, release what no longer serves, and fully embody your becoming. This is about honoring your transformation and celebrating your whole, vibrant self.
