Join local writer, Yoga Nidra facilitator, and Reiki Master teacher, Kate Wargo, for the Woven Word Retreat – a cozy bohemian winter writing retreat for women nestled in the tranquil beauty of House Boheme in Rutherfordton, NC (1 hour from Asheville)

Plus, a special live performance by singer/songwriter, Lillie Syracuse.
Guided by skilled and popular local facilitators who will help you explore your voice and connect deeply with yourself and others, you’ll have the space to write, reflect, and express your truth in a supportive, welcoming space.
Expect soul-nourishing practices like Yoga Nidra, 1-on-1 Reiki sessions, writing workshops (no writing experience needed), yoga, and more, plus time to ground into nature and connect with a community of women.
Leave feeling inspired, empowered, and more aligned with your truth, and creative spirit.
