Join Our New Year’s Meditation Retreat in Candler!

We are thrilled to announce our next meditation and yoga event in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina!

When: January 4, 2025

Time: 10am-9pm

Where: Candler, N.C.

This magical retreat will help you kick off your New Year with clarity and purpose. Three amazing instructors are teaming up to offer this unique event in our beautiful mountain cabin in Candler, N.C., which sits on 50 gorgeous acres on the slopes of Mount Pisgah, a mere 25-minute drive from downtown Asheville but a world away in peace and tranquility.

These past few months have delivered huge challenges to our beloved mountain home and as we rebuild from the devastation of Hurricane Helene, we also know how crucial it is to maintain and strengthen our inner world. That’s what this day will be all about, focusing on your body, mind and soul and sending you into the New Year with a full heart and rejuvenated soul.

Instructor Lynn Zinser will lead the retreat, leading group meditation exercises and a Yin yoga class to ground your body as well as your mind in the peace of the present moment. Andrew Kirsch will lead a QHHT hypnosis group regression, a transformative deep dive into your subconscious to connect you with the greater force guiding your life. And Allie Mandikos will lead a beautiful Sound Healing session to close the day, sending you back into your life in a higher vibration. Our favorite local chef and caterer Ellen Minier will be providing two nourishing meals, home-cooked with love.

Everyone is welcome! No experience necessary in either yoga or meditation. We will guide you through everything, which will meet you where you are.

Here is our tentative schedule:

• 10a: Welcome and Introduction to Meditation
• 11a: Catered brunch
