Calibrate and Celebrate Retreat:A Holistic Well-Spa Gathering
Calibrate and Celebrate Retreat: A Holistic Well-Spa Gathering
This is a blending of intentional, purposefully curated Spa Experiences with elements of Chinese medicine and Ayurvedic traditions.
As the seasons change leading into the autumnal equinox, our focus nods to the elements, as the Earth element embodies the rise into the Metal element. Within the Chakra system, we will be working with the lower three: grounding into the earth, to open and stabilize these energy centers, as we creating and holding space for our next personal leaps of growth or evolution.
While I believe this gathering would be greatly impactful for anyone, due to the nature of balancing and strengthening Muladhara (Root Chakra), Svadhisthana (Sacral Chakra), and Manipura (Solar Plexus). These three are particularly powerful in the sense of cultivating one’s path, as they address things like personal safety, creativity, sense of belonging, expression, fertility, and self esteem just to mention a few.

History
Warrior Path
Running parallel to River Mountain's eastern ridge is Warriors Path, the great Iroquois Indian highway from Six Nations country, New York, to the Catawba country in the Carolinas. The historic path along Sweet Root Creek was one of the longest and most heavily traveled land routes in eastern North America, connecting Indigenous peoples over hundreds of miles.
The Underground Railroad
Black Valley was an active route along the Underground Railroad. Local histories principally credit four, free black residents with leading the aid network in this area: Rev. John Fidler, Elias Rouse, Joseph Crawley, and James Graham. Just to the south of the River Mountain property are 13 unmarked graves of enslaved people who died traveling the route to freedom.
