Details

Making Space: A Women's Retreat for Release, Renewal & Simplicity Autumn reminds us that letting go isn't about loss—it's about creating space for what matters most. Through sound healing, nature, fire ceremony, and quiet reflection, you can gently release & make room for greater peace. Sometimes the most meaningful thing we can do is gently lay something down. Autumn has a quiet wisdom. The trees don't cling to what no longer serves them. They release their leaves with trust, making space for a new season long before they can see what it will bring. This retreat invites you to do the same. Perhaps you've been carrying responsibilities that no longer belong to you. Perhaps you've been holding onto old expectations, unresolved grief, perfectionism, resentment, or simply a schedule that leaves little room to breathe. Whatever it is, this weekend offers a compassionate invitation to release it. Through immersive sound healing, Yoga Nidra, quiet time in nature, fire ceremony, reflective journaling, and spacious rest, you'll be supported in letting go—not through force or pressure, but through kindness toward yourself. This is not about becoming empty. It is about making room. Room for peace. Room for joy. Room for creativity. Room for relationships that nourish you. Room for yourself. As autumn unfolds around us, we'll allow nature to remind us that release is not an ending. It is an act of trust. During this weekend you'll explore: what you're ready to lay down where your energy is being unnecessarily spent what truly deserves your attention how simplicity can create greater peace how releasing can become an act of self-compassion Guiding Question: What am I ready to lay down so I can carry what matters most? We have 5 simple and comfortable rooms that encourage getting back to center. One room is a double twin; two rooms have 3 beds to a room, shared retreat style; one private tiny home; and one cabin can be booked for a private cabin or shared. Our restroom facilities are simple and comfortable--our restroom trailer is mere steps away from the rooms, and there is a composting toilet in the shower room. All overnight rooms have an chamber pot for ease at night if needed. The cabin has its own composting toilet, kitchen, and shower. Our shared shower room has spa-like luxury with a rainhead and handheld showerhead, very hot water, and included eco-friendly shower products. Escape to the charm of rustic accommodations, where simplicity meets serenity. Nestled in nature, our cozy retreat offers a genuine escape from the hustle, inviting you to unwind in the embrace of natural beauty. Embrace the allure of simplicity, with thoughtfully designed spaces that blend seamlessly with the surrounding environment. Experience a retreat where rustic charm meets modern comfort, creating a unique haven for relaxation and rejuvenation. This retreat space is intentionally close to nature. There is no light pollution which means extraordinary starlit skies. There are no street lamps, only minimal motion lighting in key areas. You may encounter the occasional insect, frog song, or glimpse of wildlife (deer, birds) gentle reminders that you are sharing space with the natural world. The retreat is also pesticide free, keeping the land and our visitors healthier. This is a peaceful, rustic sanctuary where simplicity supports nervous system calm. If you appreciate quiet, dark skies, fresh mountain air, and a bit of earthy charm that inspires joy and wonder, you will likely feel right at home here.

Needing to take some down-time for self-care as I have a very busy work and home-life schedule. I love this area specifically and it's quite close to my home. I loved the offering of yoga, meditation and sound healing as a part of the weekend's activities since these are all desirable practices for me. It was also an ideal length and landed on a weekend. I gained self-validation and learning a couple new self-care and anxiety reduction strategies.

Angela, USA

The location itself is magical, healing, honest, cathartic. I enjoyed many rich nature moments here. This was so supportive as I was navigating internal heaviness at the end of a very difficult week and life season. Dawn, the owner/facilitator, was not only warm and inviting, she also embodies peace and nurturing spirit. This translated as a feeling of safety. Additionally, she creates these experiences very intentionally, as her offerings held such quality, depth, and informed utilization of her skills and wealth of knowledge. She interacts so kindly with attendees, while bringing quiet strength and support. She offers this, while also brilliantly cultivating healing, enriching experiences, and knowledge sharing, by melding her wealth of knowledge and expertise into each offering. I look forward to returning again soon, thank you, Dawn!

CC, USA

I'm dealing with a major life change. I chose this retreat because of the location, reasonable cost, vegan meal options and sound healing. What I liked most was the personal attention I received and the small group size. I felt more grounded and more emotionally open.

Mary, USA

Most Restorative Retreat Things were stressful at home and I was not taking time for myself. I was interested in sound healing, and the setting looked beautiful. I was able to take time for myself, share sacred space with other women, and set my intentions to be more mindful and open. This retreat was really special—it was laid back and incredibly restorative. Dawn is a skilled sound healer who is wise, easygoing, compassionate, and truly open-hearted. She provided a beautiful space for us to grow, heal, and connect with ourselves and others. Dawn—thank you so much for everything! This was my first experience doing a retreat and it was so uplifting and special.

Kristy, USA

Connect with Other Women I was going through a life transition. It was on duration, priced fairly and close to my location as well as offered sound healing, which I am interested in continuing cultivating and practicing. I was able to connect with other women who are going through different paths in life and it helped me feel more secure in my life decisions.

Tricia, USA

Excellent Weekend Retreat at Inner Wolf I wanted to do a retreat because of lots of life changes and stress. I chose this retreat because of the location, weather, and sound meditation. The people were fantastic and the grounds beautiful. I found inner peace and balance.

Amy, USA

Safe Space to Relax, Pray, Meditate I wanted to wrap up my healing journey close to nature. Besides wanting to experience sound healing, I wanted time away from life's responsibilities. This retreat allowed a safe space for me to relax, pray, meditate - all the things I needed to get back in a better headspace. The hostess, Dawn, has a gentle and kind spirit. She made us women feel comfortable and validated.

Kim, USA

Inner Wolf is Transformational! I wanted to experience a retreat for a long time, and this felt like a reflective, approachable option for a good price. I wanted to reflect on my personal/work life balance. I liked the location (still in the Smokey Mountains, but not too close to home), the sound therapies used, the pictures of the rustic location, the writing style of the ad, and the pricing was clear and fair. I feel inspired! It was wonderful to really connect with these women and feel their energies transform. I feel refreshed from the experience. Dawn is truly wonderful, and she creates a wonderful space for people to explore at their own pace!

Bobbie, USA

Inner Wolf Retreat Space I needed to recharge and get Inner Peace on some personal issues and just relax. I initially chose this retreat because it was driving distance and it was reasonably priced and also it was Rustic and that was what I was looking for. It was a complete BONUS that it has sound healing, meditation, light yoga, great food! I went in with the Intention to get recharged from being overworked but I came out with such a healing peaceful overview on life and felt blessed to experience this journey. Dawn is Loving and Kind and really cares about you! She has done a fabulous job with the property and keeping it a Rustic space in nature but providing a comfortable stay. The weekend was just a complete WOW for me ... from the Sound healing experience (which was amazing btw) to the cacao ceremony and lots of other exercises they incorporate that really help your soul to heal. They gave us enough down time to relax and enjoy the property (which is so tranquil with the running creek). The food was fresh and nourishing and plenty of it. I can't said enough good things about this retreat. I will be going back for sure!

Nancy, USA

The retreat helped me to relax and get more in balance. It helped me to open my mind to new thoughts, direction, and intuitive feelings. Because I came to the retreat, I got to listen to my inner self more and realized I needed to release/let go of certain things.

Oksana, USA

Self Love Retreat. I returned for this weekend retreat (Friday-Sunday) curated by Dawn. In addition to three blissful gong sessions, we enjoyed Reiki, a manifestation and prayer circle, a heart-opening cacao ceremony, and cozy times by the wood-fired stove (February). The meals were delicious! Dawn had thoughtfully prepared special touches and surprises. It was relaxing and heartwarming! It took a week or maybe even to process. The effects were profound.

Allie, USA

Inner wolf retreat space is a sanctuary of all the good vibrations. the land, the water, the healers, the sounds, and the stars have all had a profound impact on my healing journey. I have gained strength and perspective from the positivity, love, kindness, hospitality, and wisdom offered. Thank you. I highly recommend this place and the services offered. I hope to go back soon.
