Wild and Rooted- A Day Retreat in Shenandoah
About this Event
Life moves fast. Rooted & Wild is an invitation to slow down.
Join us for a full-day retreat at a private treehouse nestled on 22 peaceful acres in Luray, Virginia, where wooded trails, a natural spring, and mountain views create the perfect setting to reconnect with yourself, others, and the natural world.
For one special day, we've brought together some of the Shenandoah Valley's most passionate local yoga teachers, musicians, artists, and wellness practitioners to create an experience that simply couldn't happen with one person alone. Each facilitator brings their own unique gifts, creating a day rich with movement, creativity, music, nature, and meaningful connection.
Throughout the day, we'll move, create, gather, and rest together. Begin by grounding your body through yoga, open your heart in community, wander the forest while honoring the wisdom of nature, discover the joy of making music together in a community drum circle, and end the day immersed in the deeply relaxing sounds of a restorative sound journey.
Enjoy a light breakfast, a specially prepared vegetarian lunch, refreshments throughout the day, and plenty of opportunities to pause, breathe, and simply be.
Whether you're brand new to these practices or have years of experience, Rooted & Wild welcomes you exactly as you are. Come for the fresh mountain air, stay for the meaningful connections, and leave feeling rooted, refreshed, and inspired.
