Come Home to Your Light.

Nestled in the quiet beauty of Asheville, Winter Illumination invites you to pause—to rest, to listen, and to tend the light that keeps you steady.

This long-weekend retreat is designed to nurture the deepest parts of you, bring in more light, and reconnect you with what truly sustains you. Surrounded by mountain stillness and community warmth, we’ll explore sound, rest, and embodied practices that renew resilience from the inside out.

This intimate, women-only retreat offers a space to reconnect in community with others on a shared journey of renewal. It’s a deep dive into self-care—complete with BioMats, sound healing tools, a sauna, a hot tub, and unhurried time for restoration and connection. You’ll leave replenished and luminous, with simple ways to make reconnection a touchstone in your daily life.



Why This Retreat.

Winter naturally draws us inward. In that stillness, we find space to breathe, release, and begin again. Winter Illuminationis an invitation to do just that—to refill your inner reserves and rediscover the light that sustains you long after the weekend ends.

Through sound, movement, and gentle mindfulness, we’ll create space for your body and spirit to unwind, soften, and reawaken.

What You’ll Experience.

Over four nourishing days together, you’ll be invited into an experience of renewal—one that cares for your body, mind, and spirit in equal measure.

  • Sound Healing & Restorative Sessions — guided sound journeys with Amanda’s full collection of instruments and both BioMats for deep rest

  • Embodied Practices — gentle movement, breathwork, and mindfulness to support grounding and renewal

  • Thermal Rejuvenation — sauna, hot tub, and cozy rest spaces to help you unwind and integrate

  • Nutritious Meals — thoughtfully prepared, nourishing meals from Thursday dinner through Sunday brunch (dietary accommodations available)

  • Comfortable Lodging — shared or private accommodations in a beautiful Asheville retreat home surrounded by nature

  • Personal Time — spacious hours each day for reflection, journaling, connection, or quiet solitude

  • Community & Connection — a small, supportive group environment that allows space for authentic presence and belonging

Every element of the weekend is designed to help you reconnect and renew—so you can return to your life grounded, clear, and replenished.

Who It’s For.

This retreat is designed for women who are ready to slow down, reconnect, and renew—from the inside out.

Whether you’re navigating stress or transition, craving deeper connection, or simply longing to feel replenished, this space offers a gentle, supportive environment to come home to yourself. No prior experience with sound healing or movement is needed—just an openness to care for yourself fully and be in community with other women.

The Setting.

Held in a serene private home just outside Asheville, the space offers both comfort and seclusion—nestled among trees and mountain air. You’ll find warm communal areas for gathering, quiet corners for solitude, and natural beauty that supports deep restoration.

The retreat location is approximately 15 minutes from the Asheville Regional Airport, making travel easy and accessible for those flying in.
