Path Within Retreat 2026

You’ve spent years caring for others. This weekend is an invitation to care for yourself.
📅 November 13-15, 2026
📍 The Mountain Retreat & Learning Center
Highlands, North Carolina
Life has changed.
Maybe the children have grown up. Maybe your career has shifted. Maybe you’ve experienced loss, divorce, retirement, or simply reached a season where you’re asking different questions than you did before.
You’ve been there for so many people.
Now you’re wondering…
Who am I becoming in this next season of my life?
If you’ve been longing for space to breathe, reflect, and reconnect with yourself, the Path Within Retreat was created for you.
This isn’t about leaving your life behind.
It’s about stepping away long enough to remember what brings you peace, joy, and a sense of purpose.
Imagine spending a weekend in the mountains surrounded by people who aren’t trying to impress each other or fix each other, but simply walking their own paths with honesty and compassion.
Over this restorative weekend you’ll experience:
🌿 Guided conversations that help you make sense of life’s transitions
🌿 Gentle reflection to reconnect with your values and inner wisdom
🌿 Restorative Yoga to nourish your body
🌿 A peaceful Sound Bath to calm your mind and spirit
🌿 Breathwork to help release stress and create space for what’s next
🌿 Storytelling circles where you’ll discover you’re not as alone as you may have felt
🌿 Quiet time to journal, walk in nature, rest, or simply enjoy being present
You’ll leave feeling lighter, clearer, and more connected to yourself, with practical next steps for the season ahead.
During the retreat we’ll explore:
• Letting go of who you thought you had to be
• Honoring the experiences that have shaped you
• Discovering what still brings you alive
• Building a life that reflects who you are today
• Walking into your next chapter with confidence and hope
No matter your faith tradition, spiritual background, or life story, you’ll be welcomed with respect and compassion. This is an interfaith retreat where curiosity, authenticity, and meaningful connection matter more than having all the answers.

You don’t need to have everything figured out before you come.
You simply need to give yourself permission to receive the same care you’ve so generously offered others.
Perhaps this weekend isn’t about becoming someone different.
Perhaps it’s about coming home to the person you’ve always been.
I’d be honored to welcome you.
