INDIGO Nature Retreat, 137 Newberry Creek Rd., Old Fort, NC 28762
The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper." – W.B. Yeats
She’s still in there—the girl who laughed without hesitation, explored without fear, and played just for the joy of it. This retreat is designed to help you find her again.
You'll awaken your senses on adventurous hikes, reconnect with your body through joyful yoga, and nourish your soul with deep, meaningful conversations among like-minded women. Nestled in the heart of nature, we’ll trade screens for starlit skies, stress for laughter, and busyness for the simple pleasure of being.
In this retreat, Maddy and Kelley will serve as your guides to help you connect with your unabashed, joyful, childlike self. You’ll be warmly welcomed into an intimate group of women, take adventurous hikes, play in a mountain creek, flow on your yoga mat, enjoy delicious food, and have soul-stirring conversations.
You’ll leave feeling lighter, more alive, and in tune with the joy of simply being. Restored to your natural state of wonder and balance, you’ll carry this sense of freedom with you, reminding you that the child within is always there, ready to explore, play, and embrace life fully.

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 3 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. Note in your registration the name of the person you're requesting to room with. (You will need to have made the same accommodation selection.)
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 is your cancellation and refund policy?
A: A non-refundable deposit of $500 is required to secure your spot on one of our retreats. The remaining balance is split between two payments and automatically processed with your original payment method. The first payment is processed sixty (60) days prior to the retreat. The second (and final) payment is processed thirty (30) days prior to the retreat. Should you need to cancel, you must log into your WeTravel account and stop future payments. Once payments have been processed, they cannot be reversed or refunded. *No refunds will be given to paid ticket holders for any reason, including sickness, cancellation, travel delays or no shows. Tickets cannot be transferred.
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.
