Our spring retreat takes place in either May or June. In 2022 the retreat was held at Seven Springs Holistic Retreats in the foothills of the Smokies right outside Maryville.
The 2023 Retreat will take place at Harrison Bay State Park between Chattanooga and Cleveland, TN. The retreat is designed as a camping retreat with day only options.
THEME: Mind. Body. Heart. Play.
Reawaken Your Inner Child with Play and Adventure
Set at beautiful Harrison Bay State Park (the first state park in TN), join us for a weekend of mind, body, and heart activities to bring out your inner child! All activities are suitable for everyBODY and plenty of choice will be offered to ensure you can choose activities that align with your intentions for the retreat. Reawakening our inner child is crucial to finding wholeness as an adult. Through Inner healing, from healing the child within to collective healing and facing our challenges, traumas and suffering to find a way through in community opens us to the possibility of transformation and healing past relationships.
