The Land
"And into the forest I go to lose my mind and find my soul."
- John Muir

Our retreat location of Elohee, which means ‘sacred earth place’, was carefully selected to provide an awe-inspiring backdrop that enhances our experience.
Set on 220 acres of undeveloped land and nestled gently in the Blue Ridge Mountains, rests this majestic land filled with miles of inviting trails and an abundance of native woodlands. All patiently waiting to hold you and share their secrets amid the rustling breezes and roaming waters.
Nature reminds us of our place in the world and the interconnectedness of all living things. It fosters a sense of awe and appreciation for its beauty and this in turn awakens the gift of wonder in the practice of oneness.
From hiking the trails or slowly walking in noble silence; From sitting by the natural pond, to witnessing the power of the onsite waterfall, this land will imprint on your heart and remind you why your work is so needed, not just for others, but also for vibration of our planet.

GATHERING SPACES
Mandala Hall will be our MAIN gathering space.
In Sanskrit “mandala” means both circle and center, suggesting that it represents both the visible and invisible. Thus, it seems fitting to refer to this seventeen-sided building as our primary meeting space for The Gathering.
Here you can expect to receive empowering experiences such as meditation, sound healing, gong puja, transformational breathwork, somatic dance, and so much more.
We will also be sharing lessons around the keys to success in the wellness business and Q & A sessions to support your growth professionally and personally.

GONG PUJA
Most excitingly we will be hosting an
ALL NIGHT GONG PUJA!!
ALL NIGHT GONG PUJA!!
When twilight fades and the stars adorn the night sky, we gather in unity, setting intentions and embracing the boundless expanse of the human experience.
Be guided effortlessly into meditation, bliss, trance and then into sleep, but this sleep will be like no other, as our teachers continue to hold this sacred container, filled with loving awareness and immersed with sacred gongs throughout the night.
Participants will ebb and flow with the currents of sound, surrendering to the waves of vibration that wash away all that is outdated and as the gongs reverberate, layers of consciousness peel away, revealing the pure essence that lies within.
In the quiet spaces between the symphony of sound, silence becomes a canvas for introspection and revelation. Minds unfurl, hearts open, and spirits soar as we delve into the depths of our being, exploring the infinite expanse of inner landscapes.
As dawn breaks on the horizon, a sense of renewal permeates the air. We emerge from the cocoon of the night, reborn and revitalized, carrying with us the resonance of the gongs and the unity forged in the crucible of shared experience.
You won’t want to miss this!
There are 3 parts to our version of The Gong Puja

There are 3 parts to our version of The Gong Puja
- The Gong Nidra - 2 hours: The Intention is to guide you through multiple energetic layers called The Kosha, to reduce stress and tension and move you layer by layer into a Blissful state of being. There is a 30-minute pause here to allow for stretching and restroom break. For anyone who doesn't choose to stay overnight this is the chance to leave.
- The Puja - 8 hours: This is the portion of deep rest and transformation as the practitioners join with the sacred gongs to send the intentions that align with the heart - love, compassion, gratitude. forgiveness and more. These intentions are carried on the waves and received as the body is resting. This nourishing journey takes you to a place of rest that is profoundly healing. At the same time, we awaken the sacred connection of the body and the gong.
- The Return - 2 hours: As dawn breaks, we activate the gongs to bring you up from your rest, slowly coming back to an awakened state. We then move outside for some mindful movement and grounding activation to complete the Puja journey. We connect to the sun that has risen, the earth that hold us, the air we breathe and the community around us before moving on to the morning meal.
