Community Rising Retreat
Where: Inverness, Florida
When: May 29th - June 1st 2025
------
Welcome to the Wholesome Alchemy Community Rising Retreat!! We are INCREDIBLY EXCITED to hold this event once again!
Every two years, we come together for our Community Rising Retreat, a sacred space where the leaders rising within our community step forward to share their gifts. This is not just an event—it’s a celebration of growth, connection, and the unique medicine each soul brings. Unlike our traditional retreats, this is a co-creation, where the wisdom of our community takes center stage. It’s a time to be in deep presence, to receive, to give, and to remember the power of coming together in love and purpose.
This retreat is an opportunity for our community to step in and lead classes & sessions. This year our team will be Hillary Hepp, Melissa Lopez, Jen Levinson, Amy Brackett and Courtney Bohlman (Possibly one other teacher - finalizing details soon).
This is a heart-centered immersion into connection, transformation, and shared wisdom. Over these four days, you’ll be guided through a journey of self-discovery, healing, and empowerment. Through movement practices, meditation, and workshops led by emerging leaders in our community, you will have the opportunity to expand your awareness, deepen your presence, and receive powerful insights. Expect to feel nourished—physically, emotionally, and spiritually—as we share meals, meaningful conversations, and sacred ceremonies. This gathering is an invitation to be held in a space of love, to open your heart, and to reconnect with your innate wisdom. You will leave feeling inspired, seen, and deeply rooted in the magic of community, carrying the energy of this experience back into your life.
Community is the HEART of Wholesome Alchemy. - YOU make it what it is. As a thank you, this retreat is priced to make it accessible to everyone :) That being said - space is limited so claim your spot if you feel the call.
We will be moving into this sacred work at a beautiful and spacious retreat center, Full Circle Retreat, in Inverness Florida. Nestled on over five serene acres bordering the breathtaking Withlacoochee State Forest, Full Circle Retreats offers a harmonious blend of comfort, creativity, and connection with nature. From the tranquil Himalayan Salt Cave and relaxing Massage/Reiki Room to the artistic haven of Kim’s Korner and the music-filled Rock Star Room, there’s something to ignite every passion. Guests can enjoy meditative labyrinth walks, poolside yoga, or peaceful moments by the firepit under a starlit sky. With access to a private heated pool, a mini farm, and miles of forest trails, our retreat promises an unforgettable experience where creativity and relaxation come to life.
Our caterer will be Hillary of Sol Fit Wellness - preparing a delicious vegetarian menu, providing breakfast, lunch and dinner daily.
