Journey Home to Yourself: Return to Radiance
With Mandy Roberts and Cheryl Crawford
October 3 - 5, 2025
Reconnect with the beauty of who you truly are.
This isn’t just another yoga retreat—it’s a powerful reclaiming of your essence—complete with all-levels movement, soulful feminine connection, presence practices, and so much fun! Get away from it all, slow down, and shed what no longer serves you. Embrace the quiet beauty of autumn as you swap the stress of the city for the sacredness of nature.
You’ll laugh, learn, and weave new ways of being into your life. Perched above the clouds in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Elohee Retreat Center is the perfect destination for a carefree and inspired weekend of connection. Created by Mandy Roberts and Cheryl Crawford—yoginis, friends, and soulful women leaders—this women-only personal discovery and play retreat invites you to shed what no longer serves you.

What Our Past Guests Say
“I have attended many retreats held in different spaces with varied intentions. This by far is the best retreat experience I’ve had. The beautiful container created held safety and a vibration of love and delight that was felt. If you are drawn to being in community and a space to meet your beautiful self attend a retreat with Mandy and Cheryl.”
Diana M. Retreat Guest, 2025
“This retreat is a playful, fun, safe experience designed with love and care. You’ll get to a place of authenticity and inner peace. You leave feeling love for others and for yourself. You leave hopeful for the future that you’ll create for yourself. You leave transformed.”
K P, Retreat Guest 2024
“This experience has allowed me to remember parts of myself that were a little sleepy and covered in moss. I leave feeling awaken to my silly self, my sensual self, to my spirit and light. These parts are easily forgotten when you’re wiping tiny butts and doing laundry all day, but I return home with a renewed sense of self and sparked with joy.”
Sara, Retreat Guest 2025
“Meeting other women, hearing their stories, realizing I’m in good company on my journey, even when I feel alone. The connections I made were transformational. The yoga was wonderful, with no judgment and options. I felt comfortable in my skin..
Thank you for a phenomenal experience.”
T. l., Retreat Guest 2024
“I didn’t expect to connect as deeply as I did with the other retreat participants! We found each other where we each were. Through the tools Mandy gave us from active listening and presence to yoga and play, we developed a support system. This was the retreat I didn’t know that I needed, yoga made alive!
Jennifer M., Retreat Guest 2024
“I made such genuine connections with so many new friends on this retreat. I arrived alone, feeling anxious and self-conscious. But I’m leaving feeling so seen, so loved and so very nourished in my heart. I have not had such a feeling of acceptance and appreciation in a group setting like this in a very long time.”
MMS, Retreat Guest 2025
“Do it, you will find what you need. It might not be the same thing that the person next to you finds because that is the beauty of the space created. It supports each person to bring themselves home and creates a community to sit in supportive silence or reverent laughter. Thank you for the perfect combination of intensity and play!”
T. R. 2024
“If you attend this retreat, you will experience transformation, if you choose to be open.
When you see registration open, grab a spot immediately! This is what you need to do to love yourself.”
Sarah Cook, Retreat Guest 2024
“The opportunity to connect with the other women has reminded me that I am so much more than my career, more than a wife and a mother. Thank you for helping me to shine and all that I am.”
Jennie W., Retreat Guest 2025
