Western North Carolina Retreat
AUGUST 6th-10th 2025
THE SPACE
This lush and beautifully designed Mediterranean-style Villa is tucked away on a private 5 acres of stunning mountain land, complete with hiking trails and access to a stunning river perfect for swimming and resting.
✧ With two Villas situated next to each other, and a separate private Yurt for those desiring an aesthetic glamping experience, we will all be bunking with each other for an intimate, sleepover experience like no other—
This space will act as a powerful facilitator for our journey into rest, integration and reclamation.
THE PORTAL
We can think of no better place to host Anam Cara’s first retreat than the Blue Ridge Mountains— where there is a quiet, profound sense of comfort, resilience, and strength. The birds, the rivers, and the breeze whispering through the trees serve as a gentle reminder to listen, to slow down. After a heavy thunderstorm, the mountains offer us peace, resilience, and the beautiful life that blooms in her wake.
We are deeply honored to meet you here, in the very place that raised us, serving as our teacher and guide— inviting us to see, to listen, and to be.

Anam Cara Collective’s Western North Carolina Retreat will unfold this year from August 6th to August 10th, 2025, at a secluded, lush villa tucked in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Just 1.5 hours outside of Asheville, this experience invites you to immerse yourself in the healing embrace of nature. From the villa, you’ll hear the soothing rush of the river below and greet each morning with the sun rising over the undulating mountain peaks.
Every day, we will carve out intentional space for movement, morning pages, art creation, play, connection, and learning. In a world driven by constant productivity and ever-quickening rhythms, we choose to move at a slower pace. Leaning into the medicine of slow intention and rest. Here, we listen deeply, honoring our bodies and their needs, showing up with grace, reverence, and love for every version of who we are and who we’ve been. All of this unfolds within a circle of kindred, supportive women, each eager to embrace the same gentle pace.
