Winter Whispers Awakening Wellness Retreat

Jan 08 → 10

109 Dolan Road, Waynesville, North Carolina 28786

Escape the noise of everyday life and step into the quiet stillness of the Great Smoky Mountains. Hosted at the rustic-chic Wildrest Hotel, the Winter Whispers Awakening Retreat is an intimate weekend designed to clear your mind, move your body, and awaken your inner peace for the year ahead.

Through a thoughtful blend of grounding yoga flows, therapeutic sound baths, mindful meditation, and expressive art therapy, you will gently shed the weight of the past year and craft clear intentions for the next. Surrounded by the peaceful mountain mist, you will gather under the stars around an outdoor firepit and indulge in locally sourced, gourmet meals prepared fresh onsite by our special guest chefs.

Disconnect from the digital world and reconnect with your inner compass. Your mountain sanctuary awaits.
