December 13 - 15, 2024

Self-Care with a community is even more impactful than doing it alone. When winter calls us inward, there's nothing like a sweet retreat for a whole weekend to come back home to yourself through intentional time to reflect, refresh, and restore.

The focus of this weekend getaway is rest. Throughout the retreat, many offerings are included. In addition to several Restorative Yoga practices, you’ll be able to enjoy fun slow flow classes, hiking, leisurely walking, delicious food, quiet time, reading, coloring, napping, and connecting with good humans. Participate in as little or as much as you wish. Massages are available as well for an additional cost.

Carve out time for yourself for whatever you need this weekend to be. You can be with people or you can retreat alone in peace. Activities are suitable for anyone, and no yoga or meditation experience is necessary. Let’s rest together!

Accommodations

Blue Mountain Retreat Center - 1032 Hoffmaster Rd, Knoxville, MD

Blue Mountain Retreat Center provides eco-friendly accommodations on 27 acres of wooded property that feels like home! It is located near Harper’s Ferry and is also home to Tiny Haven. The spacious common areas have large dining tables for sharing meals, an open floor plan kitchen, fireplace, and lots of cozy seats to chill out. Bedrooms have twin-sized European-style platform beds and high quality mattresses. If coming with a group, make sure to indicate that during registration. If you do not indicate a roommate during registration, I’m happy to assign one.

Room options that are still available:

  • 1 double rooms (2 people)

  • 1 Individual room (1 person)

  • 1 shared rooms (3 or 4 people)

​Retreat center owner Beth Ehrhardt prepares delicious organic vegan meals with gluten-free options. Cheese, yogurt, milk, and fresh eggs are provided too. Breakfast is self-serve and includes a selection of dry cereals, yogurt, fruit, coffee, and teas. Feel free to bring any of your favorite food, snacks, or adult beverages with you!

CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is the perfect treatment to pair with a rest retreat. During our time together, your nervous system will finally have the space to breathe and settle. Support and deepen that experience for your nervous system with a CST session. Nicole intuitively combines CST with Somatic Experiencing® to help your body and mind gently unwind. This will be a light-touch hands-on session on a massage table. This will facilitate the bracing patterns in your nervous system to find safety and let go, creating a state of rest, integration, and presence.

Nicole is also a Somatic Healer & Coach specializing in women's work and supporting entrepreneurs. Learn more about her bodywork offerings at www.nicolerobinsonlmt.com and her coaching offerings at www.themind-bodyway.com.
