Wild Wonder
Yoga Retreats + Trainings
with Jen Fortin + Megan Schlobohm
Join Megan and Jen for “The Last Leaf,” a 3-night Fall Yoga retreat (December 5 - 8, 2024) at Elohee Wellness Center, nestled in the beautiful mountains of the Sautee Nacoochee National Forest. Guests will stay together in the Thanksgiving House, overlooking a 100-ft waterfall, and enjoy a variety of yoga, meditation, and other wellness experiences, led by Megan Schlobohm and Jen Fortin!
This time of the year is all about gathering - with friends and family for holiday celebrations; and in a time of harvest, what was planted in the previous months would be gathered to nourish through the winter. This retreat will focus on gathering with other yogis in Sangha (sacred community), and gathering within yourself for a deep, meaningful soul-experience in nature. This is the idyllic location to honor the change of season by immersing in the natural beauty of the Elohee property, perfectly nestled into the mountains of North Georgia in the Sautee Nacoochee national forest. Guests will be staying together at the Thanksgiving House, where there are cozy spaces to gather for meals, yoga, and good conversation.
Guests will arrive on Thursday, December 5, 2024 at 2pm, and our first group experience will begin with a welcome celebration of yoga, meditation, and group introductions. Throughout this weekend, guests will experience twice daily yoga and meditation sessions, as well as other wellness activities, including nature walks, vision boarding, evening connection time, and a fire ceremony, all honoring the beautiful change into the Fall Season. This retreat will end on Sunday, December 8, 2024 at 2pm, after morning yoga and group time for integration.
NO Yoga or Meditation Experience is necessary to participate in this weekend of serenity and sanctuary. All are welcome!

Accommodations & Pricing
​
The Thanksgiving House was the original structure at Elohee and is currently available for use by small private groups. With six bedrooms and four bathrooms, it sleeps up to fourteen. It offers two community rooms with fireplaces, a kitchen and dining room, as well as a meditation/yoga room. The outdoor patio has its own fireplace and overlooks a 100 foot waterfall and small pool.
​
The Thanksgiving House is nestled in a Rich Cove Forest niche which supports a wide range of trees and plants. Red maple, oak, basswood, and poplar are only a few of the types of trees growing here. Spring wildflowers and medicinal herbs flourish here. Mosses and rotting logs make the damp forest floor suitable for a wide variety of salamanders and one of the most diverse ecosystems found outside the tropics.
​
The Thanksgiving House is situated next to a 100-ft. waterfall, and about a 10-minute walk from Bald Mountain. It has 6 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, 2 indoor fireplaces, 1 outdoor fireplace, and a meeting space that comfortably fits 10-13 people.

About Elohee Wellness Center
​ ​
From the Elohee website: "We call the 220 acres of undeveloped land where Elohee rests Landsong. It is located in the North Georgia mountains in the foothills of the Blue Ridge near the village of Sautee Nacoochee. Andy and Carolyn Bralley purchased the land in 2010 while their daughter, Evie Cook, was battling refractory Hodgkins lymphoma. Learn more about Eve’s story and the beginnings of Elohee.
​
The Elohee Center at Landsong is being created to provide a retreat space in Nature to allow for self-exploration, individual growth, and mind/body healing. It is a place where Earth and Air, Fire and Water nurture wisdom both ancient and new. This endeavor has expanded to include extended family and an ever-widening circle of friends who have not only joined us in its creation, but have enjoyed the transforming, healing power of the land on which it sits. Learn more about our mission and the people who make Elohee possible.

Elohee ( EL-oh-HEE ) is a Cherokee word meaning 'earth place.'"
