Indigo Nature Retreat ~ Old Fort, NC
immerse yourself
in gratitude and the magic of the mountains of north carolina with yoga, sound healing, hiking, healthy food, meditation and so much more.
Nature is the purest pathway to inner peace. It recharges our energy. It rejuvenates our soul.
As summer comes to a close, we will gather in the forest of old fort, North Carolina to return to nature and leave the wild busy of everyday life for three nights and four days of healing. In creekside cabins under the stars, you will be given the opportunity to enhance your relationship with nature and your true nature without all of the distractions of the modern wired world we live in. we will practice gratitude as we prepare to harvest what we have planted this year in our hearts and lives.
fall is a time for regeneration and rest. a time to check in with yourself and reflect on what you are grateful for.
a time to go inward.
we shall connect with all of nature’s elements in the forest and celebrate this changing season outside of us and within.

Lee Ann will lead three sound healings on the retreat. She will also lead morning qigong as well as an intuition workshop.
Known for her soulful warmth and brightness, LeeAnn’s nurturing heart allows others to be seen, and heal deeply. Her deep desire is to cultivate and serve a community that brings brilliant vitality and sincere happiness to its people. this passion flows through her loving guidance to others toward a renewed quality of life through education, awareness, humor and spiritual integration.
LeeAnn describes herself as a hummingbird, a collector of life experiences. Her quest for knowledge, skill and wisdom has led her down many roads in the worlds of business, the arts and non-profits, but her constant has always been music.
