*Waitlist* Resourced: Practices for Sustainable Care

Join Christina Rodriguez, E-RYT 500, YACEP and Julie Newton, RDN, LDN, 200RYT for an intimate four-day, three-night women’s retreat at the beautiful Thanksgiving House at Elohee Retreat Center, nestled in the mountains of North Georgia.

How do we cultivate enough inner and relational resources to care for ourselves and the world in sustainable ways?

Resourced is a yoga and meditation retreat designed to explore how we sustain ourselves, individually and collectively, in a complex and demanding world. When our nervous systems are depleted and our attention scattered, it becomes difficult to care for what matters most. This retreat offers an opportunity to slow down and reconnect with the practices, relationships, and inner capacities that help us feel supported, nourished, and steady enough to meet life with wisdom and care.

Surrounded by forest, a waterfall, and mountain air, we’ll also explore the ways that the natural world can support and restore us. The land itself becomes part of our practice, reminding us that resourcing is not only internal but relational.

Through mindful movement, breath practices, guided meditation, time in nature, and reflective conversation, we’ll explore what it means to be resourced. Resourcing is not something we achieve alone, but something we cultivate within ourselves, with one another, and in relationship with the living world. Together, we’ll draw from the wisdom of yoga philosophy, the subtle body, and nourishment practices to support clarity, resilience, and compassionate presence.

Together, we will:
● Explore somatic resourcing practices that help us recognize and return to the supports already present within our bodies and nervous systems
● Experience the regulating power of nature through a guided forest bathing practice
● Reflect on food as relationship, exploring nourishment not as control or perfection but as connection to body, community, and the earth that sustains us.
● Experience collective resourcing and co-regulation through shared practice, community circles, and intentional time together.
