Awaken Your Sensual Self Women's Retreat
Unleash the Power Within
April 26-28, 2024--Hot Springs, NC
If you’re longing to rediscover your sensual self, then join us for a Weekend Women's Retreat that will heal guilt and shame, deepen your connection to your body and desires, and give you skills and tools to create a more satisfying and fulfilling love life.
As your car winds up the peaceful mountain road, you realize that you have stepped into a vibrant, living painting. The rolling hills come alive with bursts of green as trees and plants awaken from their winter slumber. Colorful wildflowers dot the landscape. Streams cascade down the mountainside, their gentle murmurs adding to the tranquility all around you.
The perfect setting for a weekend to reconnect with your body, re-discover your sensual self and open yourself up to new possibilities.
You settle into our first circle, surrounded by a group of kindred women, enveloped in an overwhelming sense of unity and understanding. The air pulsates with a tangible warmth and vulnerability, as we pour our hearts out, sharing deeply personal tales of our evolving bodies, shifting relationships, and intimate experiences. In this sacred space, a profound realization washes over you - you are truly not alone on your evolving journey.
Let's be honest, aging can make you feel increasingly out of touch with your own body. It's not uncommon to feel frustrated as your sexual desires evolve or diminish. You might start to think you're broken or fear that your sense of vitality and zest for life is gone for good.
Listen up Girlfriend! It's time to stop the negative self talk, prioritize your own changing needs and desires and rid yourself of shame and guilt!
There's a whole world of sensuality and intimacy waiting for you. This retreat is your doorway to becoming an empowered, vibrant, sensual woman!
If you answer "Yes" to any of these questions, then you owe it to yourself to join us for our Awaken Your Sensual Self Weekend Retreat!
Wouldn’t it be incredible if you woke up tomorrow and no longer felt broken?
Are you longing to feel alive, sexy and confident in your body?

Welcome to Bliss House
Welcome to your secluded mountain sanctuary, nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, with access and views of the National Forest for as far as your eyes can see. Hidden away deep in the Blue Ridge, The Bliss House overlooks a sea of forested land. Breathe in the fresh forest air, hear the rush of waterfalls, hike nearby trails and see the forest awaken to spring. Take a short drive down the mountain and experience the healing waters of Hot Springs.
We know how important it is on a retreat to nourish all parts of you so rest assured that Chef Madeline will serve you delicious, healthy meals and snacks all day long.
You start your day with a vegetable frittata or fruit and yogurt for a lighter alternative. At lunch time your feast on a Caesar salad with fresh trout fillets and sweet potato bisque.
Dinner is the main event where our Chef’s prowess in the kitchen and love of Korean cooking comes to life. The sweet smell of Korean Beef Bulgogi wafts through the air.
As you take your first bite your taste buds awaken to an exquisite sweet and salty combination laced into extraordinarily tender meat, topped with homemade kimchi.
For dessert, you feast on the sensual taste and texture of chocolate soufflé.
