Imagine yourself tucked away in the North Georgia mountains… surrounded by forest, waterfalls, and women who are ready—just like you—to remember who they are.
​
This is more than a retreat.
It’s a soul reset. A sacred reclamation. A coming home.
​
Over four powerful days, we’ll work with the Four Elements—Earth, Air, Fire, and Water—to release what no longer serves, reconnect with our deepest truths, and rise into the powerful, radiant version of ourselves that’s been waiting to be seen.
​
You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll breathe deeper than you have in months.
And you’ll do it all in sacred sisterhood, fully supported, fully seen.
​
If your soul is whispering “yes”… this is your invitation.
It’s time to reclaim your power.
Remember your truth.
And rise into your purpose.
Why the Four Elements Matter in Your Life
(and in This Retreat)
Across time and cultures, the elements—Fire, Water, Earth, and Air—have been honored as the building blocks of life. But they’re not just ancient concepts—they’re living energies that shape your emotions, decisions, relationships, and your ability to create the life you desire.
​
When you feel scattered, stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or burnt out…
It’s not because something is wrong with you.
It’s because you’re out of balance.
​
This retreat is about coming back into alignment with the elements within and around you—so you can feel grounded, clear, energized, and empowered.
​
Here’s how the Four Elements show up in real life—and how we’ll work with them together:
FIRE – For the woman who’s lost her spark
We’ll ignite your passion, burn away limiting beliefs, and reconnect you with your power and purpose.
WATER – For the woman who feels emotionally overwhelmed or disconnected
We’ll help you flow again—releasing what no longer serves and reconnecting you with your intuition and emotional wisdom.
EARTH – For the woman who feels ungrounded, anxious, or out of sync with her body
We’ll root you back into your body, the present moment, and what truly matters, so you can feel safe, supported, and centered.
AIR – For the woman who’s stuck in her head and craving clarity
We’ll help you clear mental clutter, breathe deeply, and access your higher guidance so you can move forward with confidence.
​
Each element offers a key to your healing.
Each one unlocks a part of you that’s been waiting to come alive.
​
During the retreat, you’ll engage in powerful experiences—like forest bathing, breathwork, sacred ceremony, sound healing, and more—designed to activate each element within you and bring you back into harmony.
​
This is where healing meets magic.
This is where the elements meet your soul.
Your journey unfolds at Elohee, a breathtaking retreat center tucked into the lush mountains of Sautee Nacoochee, Georgia. This isn’t just a getaway—it’s a sacred homecoming. Surrounded by forest, waterfalls, and wild beauty, you’ll feel the Earth herself rise up to hold you.
​
Here, you’ll join a powerful sisterhood of like-minded women—each ready to reconnect with herself, release what no longer serves, and rise into her next chapter.
Each day is intentionally designed to awaken the goddess within you.
You’ll begin with grounding practices that root you in the moment, then flow into sacred rituals and elemental activations that ignite your power and clear your path. From fire ceremonies to forest bathing, sound healing to breathwork, you’ll experience deep, embodied transformation.
​
There’s space to integrate too—because healing isn’t just about doing, it’s about being.
You might find yourself journaling beneath the trees, meditating beside the waterfall, or lying in the grass with the sun warming your skin and a heart that finally feels open.
​
And yes—your body will be deeply nourished, too. Our private chef will be preparing vibrant, delicious meals that feed your soul as much as your belly. Every bite is intentional, every moment sacred.
​
This is your time.
To rest.
To rise.
To return to you.

experiences
We have curated a range of exceptional experiences that are designed to powerfully accelerate your transformation.
Cacao Ceremony
A cacao ceremony is a sacred gathering where pure cacao is consumed in a ceremonial and intentional way. Originating from Mayan and Aztec traditions, it's a popular practice for connecting with oneself, nature, and spirituality. Participants create a supportive space, sipping the rich cacao drink while engaging in rituals like meditation, chanting, and dancing. Cacao is seen as a heart-opening plant medicine, enhancing focus, releasing emotions, and deepening the connection to oneself and the collective consciousness. The ceremony offers a transformative experience, fostering gratitude, clarity, and purpose.
Earth Initiation
The Earth is our foundation, the solid ground beneath our feet that offers stability, nourishment, and a deep sense of connection to all that is. During this retreat, we’ll tap into the grounding power of the Earth to help you feel more centered, balanced, and rooted in your authentic self.
The Earth element is a powerful ally in your journey of self-discovery and growth. Through intentional practices like grounding meditations, and a guided forest therapy experience by a certified practitioner - Forest Therapy is taking the world by storm and even National Geographic recommends it! It’s more than just a nature walk, it’s an intentional guided experience not to be missed. You’ll experience the healing energy of the Earth firsthand. Each step you take on the forest paths, each breath of fresh mountain air, will remind you of the strength and resilience that resides within you.

Air Initiation
Air is the breath of inspiration, the whisper of ideas, and the boundless space where creativity takes flight. At our retreat, we’ll harness the creative power of Air to open your mind to new possibilities, spark your imagination, and elevate your personal growth.

Air is the element of movement and change, and it invites you to breathe deeply, clear your mind, and allow your creative energy to flow freely. Through guided breathwork, visualization exercises, and creative expression sessions, you’ll tap into the limitless potential of your inner world. As you breathe in the fresh mountain air, you’ll find yourself expanding your vision, unlocking new ideas, and embracing innovative ways to manifest your dreams.

Water Initiation
Water, the element of flow, renewal, and emotional healing, is a profound force that gently guides us toward inner clarity and peace. At this retreat, we’ll embrace the cleansing power of Water to wash away the old, nourish our souls, and open ourselves to new possibilities.
Water has a unique ability to cleanse and purify, not just our bodies, but our minds and spirits as well. During this retreat, you’ll be invited to immerse yourself in sacred water rituals that will help you release emotional burdens, cleanse your energy, and reconnect with your deepest self. Whether it’s the cool, refreshing dip in the pool of mountain water, the tranquil flow of a stream, or the calming presence of a waterfall, Water will be your guide in this journey of renewal.

Fire Initiation
​Fire, a powerful force of transformation, passion, and renewal, it is more than just a physical phenomenon; it’s a symbol of the inner strength and resilience that burns within each of us. During this retreat, we’ll tap into the transformative power of Fire to ignite your inner flame and guide you on a journey of profound self-discovery.
​
Through guided fire rituals and ceremonies, you’ll have the opportunity to release what no longer serves you, burning away old patterns, limiting beliefs, and past hurts. This is your chance to let go, to cleanse and purify your spirit, making space for new growth and possibilities. As the flames rise, so too will your courage, passion, and determination, empowering you to step into the fullness of your authentic self.

Spots are limited—don’t miss your chance to be part of this sacred experience.

“I don’t know anyone. Will I feel out of place?”
Not at all. Most women come alone—and leave with soul sisters. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be held in a safe, welcoming space where real connection happens quickly and naturally. You’ll be seen, supported, and celebrated exactly as you are.
What if I’m not ‘spiritual enough’?
There’s no test to pass or label to wear. If you feel the call to be here, that’s enough. We meet you where you are, with grounded, accessible practices and lots of space to explore at your own pace. You get to be fully you—no crystals or cacao experience required.
This sounds amazing, but what if I can’t afford it?
We hear you. Investing in yourself can feel big, but this experience will give back to your life in ways that ripple far beyond the retreat. Payment plans are available, and we’re happy to talk with you about making it work. Don’t let fear keep you from what your soul is asking for.

✨ Exceeds 5 Star Rating!!✨ Such a life changing event. When I signed up, I had no clue that it would surpass my wildest imagination. This event was very well organized from the start to the finish. The experiential cacao ceremony was a huge game changer in my manifestation journey. The facilitators were incredibly knowledgeable and personable. They did a phenomenal job at tapping into our authentic self. Thanks so much Graciela and Julietta for a wonderful experience!! Please keep doing events like this.
