What to Expect

• In early October, a virtual community will be created to connect retreat-goers with facilitators and each other, as well as vote on retreat details such as book(s) to discuss.
• Day 1: Check in at 3pm, opening circle at 4pm. Sarah Jane Chapman (Be With Your Body yoga, astrology, tarot) leads a discussion about what the stories get right (and wrong) about witches, followed by a guided release ritual to set the tone for weekend. Delicious farm-to-table dinner, followed by a book-club-style discussion around the campfire. The night ends with wind-down yoga and a sleepy tea or mocktail.
• Day 2: Gentle morning yoga at 9:30am, followed by a big brunch at the lodge. Rea Frey (#1 bestselling author and Book Doula) will lead an incredible session on creative writing and publishing your work, followed by a 90 minute restorative break. The afternoon group discussion will explore the deeper meaning behind why we are drawn to the characters we love, and what this can teach us about ourselves. A literary-inspired pop-up fair and flash tattoo station, amazing communal dinner, campfire book trivia with “midnight margaritas” round out the day’s agenda.
• Day 3: Breakfast at the lodge, followed by individual “blind date with a book” reveals. Closing group circle to discuss what was learned, finalize our TBRs, and complete a group guided visualization ritual to send everyone back into the world stronger and more inspired.
• Following the event: Virtual community will have the option to continue and will be added to the broader Founders Circle community, which will offer both virtual and Nashville-based events in the future.
