Elohee's Registration and Cancellation Policy

Join facilitators Jason Lyle and Erin Hill for a soulful weekend of restoration, reflection, and reconnection in the healing beauty of the North Georgia mountains.

This co-ed retreat is designed for anyone ready to release the pressure to “fix” themselves and instead learn how to love who they already are—body, mind, and soul. Through yoga, breathwork, meditation, forest bathing, group circles, and guided creative expression, you’ll explore what it means to truly belong to yourself again.

The weekend includes gentle movement practices, nervous system regulation tools, and spacious time in nature, including an optional cold plunge. You’ll be guided with care and authenticity in a space that welcomes both your grit and your softness—where nothing about you needs to be hidden.

At the heart of the retreat is a shared ritual of growth: participants will help build a living centerpiece, and on Sunday, each person will decorate and plant a propagated gift from Erin—something beautiful to take home as a reminder that healing takes root through presence, care, and connection.

This retreat is open to all adults and all experience levels.
Come as you are. Leave with more of who you are.

A full day of embodied practices and soulful reflection. You’ll move through guided sessions centered on loving the body, mind, and soul. Expect movement, stillness, creativity, breathwork, cold plunge (optional), spacious rest, and meaningful connection—with yourself, the land, and others.

1:00 PM – Check-Out

We’ll begin the day with a grounding practice and end with a shared ritual of planting and reflection. You’ll leave with a living reminder of what you’ve cultivated—and a renewed commitment to care for what’s sacred within you.

This weekend is yours. Let go of expectations. Show up real. You don’t have to be fixed. You just have to come home to yourself.
