About this trip
Find Yourself at the Crossroads of Spirituality and Serenity
Nestled among the whispering pines of the majestic Appalachian Mountains, our retreat is more than just a stay, it’s an intimate escape on an 85-acre slice of heaven, a luxurious basecamp for the soul seeker.
Heidi's signature blend of transformative breathwork and intuitive meditation serves as your conduit to spiritual grounding. It's more than just an awakening—it's a renaissance of the psyche, enabling you to forge a profound connection with loved ones across the veil and the highest echelons of your own spirit.
You are not alone in your quest. Our retreats are a composition of soul-searching individuals, a symphony of kindred spirits. Together, you will explore the depths of your abilities in an atmosphere brimming with understanding and compassion.
It's your moment to shed the cocoon of uncertainty and emerge enlightened, supported by Heidi's expertise in psychic mediumship workshops. Gather newfound confidence, healing, and joy in an enclave where fear and grief dissolve like mist under the morning sun.
Succumb to the unparalleled pleasure of our farm-to-table delicacies, designed not only to tantalize your taste buds but also to purify and revitalize your essence. Each meal is a feast of clean, soulful flavors that echo the luxury and intentionality of your stay. Throughout your days of exploration, there is time to relax, get a spa treatment, enjoy a drink by the fire with live music, or take hike in one of the nearby trails.
Each moment is infused with the possibility of transformation, self-discovery, and profound connections. Exquisite yet cozy, our accommodations are thoughtfully designed to reflect the beauty of our surroundings. Retreat to your private haven after a day full of spiritual exploration and feel the peace enviable comforts provide.
Welcome to a sanctuary where the soul meets serenity, spirits dance with the divine, and every breath brings you closer to your truth. Here, bonds form that transcend the ordinary and create friendships that last a lifetime. In laughter, in silence, in the shared joy of discovery

Is this for you?
Exploring Your Questions About The Experience. Whether you are pondering the mysteries of the universe or simply seeking clarity on day-to-day details, every question is valued and welcomed.
Do I have to be a medium? No, not everyone is, or will be a medium. But, we all have psychic abilities. We all have mediumship abilities to connect with our own loved ones. Who knows, maybe you will discover you are a medium and read for others!
Is this only for beginners? No, it is for all levels. It is great for beginners who are just curious and for those with some experience and are still developing their psychic skills. I work with every level and will accommodate each exercise based on where you are at. If you are advanced, I will push you harder, only if you like, of course! If you want to make this your profession, I will help you achieve that.
Do I have to perform in front of anyone? No, you do not have to do anything that you are not comfortable with. But, keep in mind this is your time to explore and push yourself in a safe and loving environment. If you want to push your skills, this is your place to do so, with no judgment and with the support of friends close by.
What is the food like? It is incredible! You will feast on 3 delicious meals a day. And, yes, for those who cannot do without a caffeine rush, they have an espresso and coffee machine.
What if I have food allergies? Just let me know and the chef will make plans to accommodate
any allergies you may have.
Do I need to come with someone? No. This is a great trip to do solo as a special gift to yourself. You will make so many new friends here. Want to travel with a buddy? There is a discount per person if you add a person to your room, home, or suite. We will make sure you are together if you book separately.
Is there wheelchair access? Unfortunately, there is no wheelchair access or transportation within the property due to the fact that it is in the mountains, so if you have any mobility issues, this may not be for you.
