Journey Home to Yourself: Solstice Summer Camp

Discover the transformative power of play in this women’s only solstice celebration!

Step back into the carefree days of friendship bracelets, belly laughs, and sun-kissed adventures. This isn’t just another yoga retreat—it’s summer camp reimagined—complete with all-levels yoga & movement, soulful feminine connection, and, of course, s’mores! Celebrate the magic of the summer solstice as you swap the seriousness of city life for the wonder of the great outdoors and the longest, most radiant days of the year.

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 play inspired weekend. Created by Mandy Roberts and Cheryl Crawford—yoginis, friends, and soulful women leaders—this women-only personal discovery and play retreat invites you to bask in the light of connection, self-expression, and joy.

What Our Past Guests Say

“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

“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

“Best yoga instruction ever! Thanks for the space you create and the exceptional music. Great experience!”

Patrice Mantovani, Retreat Guest 2018

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
