Fall Wellness Retreat

FALL CLEANSE: RELEASE, REBALANCE & NOURISH: AN EMBODIED CLEANSE EXPERIENCE!

You might be feeling “sick” with stress and unhealthy eating.  Come heal your exhausted overworked digestive system. Rest and recover after a busy Summer. 

She let go.

Without a thought or a word, she let go.

She let go of fear. She let go of the judgments.

She let go of the confluence of opinions swarming around her head.
She let go of the committee of indecision within her.
She let go of all the ‘right’ reasons. Wholly and completely,
without hesitation or worry, she just let go. She didn’t ask anyone for advice. She didn’t read a book on how to let go… She didn’t search the scriptures.

She just let go.
She let go of all of the memories that held her back.
She let go of all of the anxiety that kept her from moving forward.
She let go of the planning and all of the calculations about how to do it just right.

She didn’t promise to let go.
She didn’t journal about it.
She didn’t write the projected date in her day-timer.
She made no public announcement and put no ad in the paper.
She didn’t check the weather report or read her daily horoscope.

She just let go.
She didn’t analyze whether she should let go.
She didn’t call her friends to discuss the matter.
She didn’t do a five-step Spiritual Mind Treatment.
She didn’t call the prayer line.
She didn’t utter one word. 

She just let go.

No one was around when it happened.
There was no applause or congratulations.
No one thanked her or praised her.
No one noticed a thing.

Like a leaf falling from a tree, she just let go.
There was no effort. There was no struggle.
It wasn’t good and it wasn’t bad.
It was what it was, and it is just that.
In the space of letting go, she let it all be.
A small smile came over her face.
A light breeze blew through her.
And the sun and the moon shone forevermore.

About Elohee:

The Elohee Center was envisioned by Eve Cook who, during her battle with Refractory Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, found comfort in the serenity of the Blue Ridge Mountains of north Georgia. With the help of her family, an idea for a retreat center was hatched and lovingly brought to life as a refuge for spiritual and physical healing.

It’s more than just a retreat center; it’s a heartfelt dream woven into reality, a sanctuary where every soul can find solace, healing, and a sense of belonging. With every stone laid and every path carved, the family-infused Elohee with a profound intention: to offer a peaceful haven that mirrors the unconditional love and wisdom of nature itself.

On this 30-acre canvas of natural beauty, every element — from the cozy Mandala Hall and its tranquil Reflection Pond to the welcoming Thanksgiving House, the seven quaint cottages, and the winding miles of trails — is a gentle invitation to pause, breathe, and reconnect with your inner self. Elohee is a testament to living in harmony with our environment, a place where the whispers of the earth inspire us to awaken to our true potential.

Here, amidst the majestic mountains, we’re reminded of the beauty of simply being. Elohee isn’t just a location; it’s a community, a family extended to every retreat organizer, trainer, teacher, and guest. It’s an embodiment of love and dedication to growth, connection, and the nurturing of mind and body through practices like meditation, yoga, and art. We invite you to join us at Elohee, to step into a space where transformation is nurtured, and every visit is a step closer to finding your own path to inner peace and joy.
