Details

Join Karly Wood and Jules Wyatt for a transformational Fall retreat in the mountains, where nature becomes the container for your reset and the catalyst for your renewal. Early September is a potent threshold — a soft doorway between summer’s expansion and Fall’s invitation to let go. On the night of the New Moon in Virgo, we gather to vision, realign, and reclaim intention. The mountains amplify the energy of beginnings, grounding your body, clarifying your mind, and supporting the seeds of who you are becoming. This weekend is crafted for embodiment, connection, and energetic renewal — not escape, but conscious redirection. You’ll return home feeling clearer, lighter, and aligned with what wants to emerge in your next season. What to expect: New Moon intention ceremony to anchor your vision Yoga, breathwork, sound healing + somatic recalibration Nature immersion, silence, reflection, and community Alignment + posture support with hands-on guidance Optional one-on-one healing sessions with Jules Wyatt, LMBT, Reiki Master, and BS in Psychology. Jules is a Therapist, Massage Therapist, Reiki Master, and Sound Healer and Somatic Worker who guides others into states of deep rest and energetic alignment. For over 8 years, she has shared the transformative vibrations of Quartz Crystal Singing Bowls, helping individuals and groups attune their energy and reconnect with balance. Jules creates a safe, nurturing space where sound, touch, and energy work support healing, openness, and harmony.

Testimonials

I felt so much lighter and calm afterwards. There was time for privacy and reflection as well as community. You get to choose what you want.

Melissa M, USA

I needed to escape the constant draw of technology and wanted to be closer to nature. I was able to really rest. I didn't expect the degree to which Karly created a space and guidance to do some real and profound healing.

Nancy B, USA

I've done yoga with Karly so I knew the yoga parts would be great. Being able to practice often over a few days felt great and took my practice to a new level. I learned other kinds of yoga too which was interesting.
