Life Coach, Workshop & Retreat Leader
“Nature itself is the best physician.” - Hippocrates
We often feel worn down by the stress and busy pace of life. And while regular self-care practices (such as getting eight hours of sleep or daily movement) are essential to our physical and mental health, there are times when it doesn’t seem to have any cumulative effect on our wellbeing. We still feel depleted of energy, lash out at others, or hamster wheel our way through life.
This is when a full unplug and recharge for several days is needed. Time spent in nature is medicine and has healing power. Deep immersion into nature with wellness practices allows our nervous system to recalibrate and reset to our natural, balanced state.
In this retreat, Maddy and Kelley will serve as your guides to help you unwind and reconnect with your deeper self while enjoying the surroundings of the beautiful Pisgah National Forest. You’ll be warmly welcomed into an intimate group of women, take adventurous hikes, flow on your yoga mat, chill in meditation and experience a sound bath session all while enjoying delicious food and engaging in soul stirring conversations.
By the end of the retreat, you will feel more centered and grounded within yourself, relaxed and at ease in your mind, and re-energized in your body.

FAQ
Q: If I book with a friend, does that reduce the ticket price?
A: Booking with a friend does not reduce the price because each ticket is per person and includes accommodations, meals, activities, etc.
Q: What’s the difference between the tiny cabins and the creekside cabins?
A: The creekside cabins are more spacious and have a kitchenette w/ cooktop, refrigerator, coffee maker, heat and A/C as well as a bathroom and shower. The tiny cabins are equipped with a mini fridge, coffee maker and heat and A/C. There is no running water or bathroom facilities in the tiny cabins, however, the community barn (with bathrooms and showers) is less than 100ft. away.
Q: What fitness level do I need to have?
A: For the hikes, if you can walk on uneven terrain for 3-5 miles, going at your own pace, with pauses for rest and water, you’ll be fine! The yoga is beginner friendly, slow flow style and modifications can be done as your body needs.
Q: It’s just me, will that be awkward?
A: Not at all! We are all about solo travel and know how to create a welcoming experience for all! We will pair you with another solo traveler for your overnight accommodation, and you’ll have a new buddy!
Q: Do you have any single occupancy options?
A: Yes! We have 4 single occupancy accommodations in the tiny cabins.
Q: I’m coming with a friend, can we request shared accommodation?
A: Yes, and we will do our very best to arrange that. After registering, email Kelley at coach@kelleydoyle.com with your request. We cannot guarantee it and will notify you if we cannot accommodate the request.
Q: What meals are included? And, can you accommodate dietary restrictions?
A: This retreat will includes 3 breakfasts, 2 lunches and 3 dinners. If we know about your dietary restrictions in advance we can provide menu alternate options. In your pre-retreat questionnaire we ask about food allergies and dietary restrictions. This feedback will help us customize all meals on retreat. In addition, you have the option to bring your own snacks and specialty food and store them in either your cabin or the community barn kitchen.
Q: I'm flying in. What's the closest airport?
A: Asheville airport is closest - 37 miles away and less than an hour drive. Charlotte airport is 103 miles away and a two hour drive (without traffic).
Q: What should I bring?
A: You will receive a packing list ahead of retreat with everything you need to bring.
Q: What is the age range of women attending this retreat?
A: We have an 18+ age requirement. Outside of that, we find that our retreats bring together a diverse group of like-minded women. It's less about age and more about mindset. The women who come on retreat with us vary in age, but all have in common a desire to step away from their busy lives, slow down, and reconnect with their true selves.
Q: What if I need to cancel?
A: The $500 deposit is non-refundable. Full balance is due and automatically processed 60 days prior to the retreat. Cancellations must be made 3 business days prior to final payment. We aim to give our retreat participants an enjoyable and memorable, life-changing experience you will not want to miss! While not required, we strongly recommend travel insurance to protect your investment in case of unforeseen circumstances.
