Rest & Relaxation Weekend: A New Year Invitation
With Anna Marie, Micki Wisenbaker and Liana N. Fiallos
January 9 - 11, 2026
This Winter we are excited to offer another one of a kind Rest & Relaxation Weekend: A New Year Invitation! Join us as we weave the theme of deep restoration and simplicity into our weekend, celebrating the rewards we reap from tending to our self-care.
Compared to our standard R&R weekends, this Rest & Relaxation Weekend will offer an increased variety of optional activities including Somatic Movement*, A Simple Living workshop, Guided Nature Hike, Sound Bath, a Bonfire, and more! You will also have an opportunity to add on Massage Therapy or Reiki appointments. All of this alongside our miles of hiking trails and Natural Reflecting Pond with a panoramic view of the surrounding mountains.
The beauty of this weekend is its flexibility. Choose to do as much, or as little, as you’d like. There’s no set schedule, no obligations, and no demands, just space to be on your own terms. While others will also be enjoying Elohee in their own way, you may find yourself connecting with new friends or simply savoring peaceful solitude, the choice is entirely yours.
Meals include arrival dinner on Friday through departure lunch on Sunday, and we’re happy to provide healthy, delicious, and wholesome food for your enjoyment. Please click on the “Register Now” button to see pictures of our lodging options and to register.

*What is Somatics?!
Somatic has become a buzzword today in the healing world, but I know a lot of people still don’t really understand what it means. The word somatic comes from the Greek word soma which means body. Somatic work is all about how your body feels from the inside out. So when you are doing a somatic practice it’s not about what your body looks like, it’s about how it feels. This practice helps you dive deeper into your thoughts and beliefs and how that affects your body because our body and mind are not separate. However, we live in a society that keeps us in our heads. This is why somatic practices are really essential right now for people to come back to a deeper awareness of their beautiful bodies. Somatic techniques can be used in dance, breath work, yoga asanas, and restorative postures. With the use of somatic awareness, you can release stress, restore the nervous system and overall, feel more empowered and connected to yourself.
