Imagine us, tucked away in the stunning North Georgia mountains, surrounded
by nature’s beauty, and just soaking in all the good vibes. We’ll be working with the
four elements—Fire, Water, Earth, and Air—each one helping us tap into our deepest
selves to Awaken the Goddess Within.
​
This isn’t just any retreat—it’s like a soul-level glow-up. We’ll ditch the doubts, ground ourselves in what really matters, and seriously level up our lives. And we’ll do it all together, in the most supportive, empowering sisterhood you can imagine.
​
Give yourself this time to fully embrace your whole, authentic self.
Let’s awaken that inner goddess and make some magic happen in those mountains!
The Magic of the Elements:
Ancient Wisdom Across Cultures
Across time and cultures, the elements—Fire, Water, Earth, and Air—have been revered as the fundamental building blocks of life. They are the forces that shape our world and the essence that flows within us. From ancient indigenous traditions to astrology, Chinese medicine, Ayurveda, and beyond, the elements have been recognized as powerful tools for healing, transformation, and manifestation.
​
In Indigenous cultures, the elements are often seen as sacred beings, each with its own spirit and energy that can guide and protect us. Fire represents the spirit of transformation and renewal, Water symbolizes the flow of emotions and intuition, Earth embodies grounding and stability, and Air signifies the breath of life and the power of the mind. These traditions teach us that by honoring and working with the elements, we can connect more deeply with nature and our inner selves.
​
Any number of traditions, such as Astrology, Chinese medicine and the Eastern Indian
Ayurveda healing system, although diverse in their origins, all share a deep respect for the elements as forces of creation and transformation. They remind us that we are made of the same elements that make up the universe, and by learning to work with them, we can tap into a profound source of power and magic.
​
In this retreat, we will focus on the four primary elements—Fire, Water, Earth, and Air—guiding you to connect with these energies within and around you. By embracing the wisdom of the elements, you will learn to harness their power to manifest your best life. Whether it’s igniting your inner fire, cleansing your spirit with water, grounding yourself in the earth, or soaring on the wings of air, the elements will be your allies on this transformative journey.
A sanctuary of transformation awaits you at Elohee, a stunning retreat center in Sautee Nacoochee, Georgia, nestled in the embrace of the majestic mountains. Imagine connecting with a sisterhood of like-minded women, each on her own journey of self-discovery, empowerment, and deep connection with the elements.

experiences
We have curated a range of exceptional experiences that are designed to powerfully accelerate your transformation.
Cacao Ceremony
A cacao ceremony is a sacred gathering where pure cacao is consumed in a ceremonial and intentional way. Originating from Mayan and Aztec traditions, it's a popular practice for connecting with oneself, nature, and spirituality. Participants create a supportive space, sipping the rich cacao drink while engaging in rituals like meditation, chanting, and dancing. Cacao is seen as a heart-opening plant medicine, enhancing focus, releasing emotions, and deepening the connection to oneself and the collective consciousness. The ceremony offers a transformative experience, fostering gratitude, clarity, and purpose.
Earth Initiation
The Earth is our foundation, the solid ground beneath our feet that offers stability, nourishment, and a deep sense of connection to all that is. During this retreat, we’ll tap into the grounding power of the Earth to help you feel more centered, balanced, and rooted in your authentic self.
The Earth element is a powerful ally in your journey of self-discovery and growth. Through intentional practices like grounding meditations, and a guided forest therapy experience by a certified practitioner - Forest Therapy is taking the world by storm and even National Geographic recommends it! It’s more than just a nature walk, it’s an intentional guided experience not to be missed. You’ll experience the healing energy of the Earth firsthand. Each step you take on the forest paths, each breath of fresh mountain air, will remind you of the strength and resilience that resides within you.
Air Initiation
Air is the breath of inspiration, the whisper of ideas, and the boundless space where creativity takes flight. At our retreat, we’ll harness the creative power of Air to open your mind to new possibilities, spark your imagination, and elevate your personal growth.
Air is the element of movement and change, and it invites you to breathe deeply, clear your mind, and allow your creative energy to flow freely. Through guided breathwork, visualization exercises, and creative expression sessions, you’ll tap into the limitless potential of your inner world. As you breathe in the fresh mountain air, you’ll find yourself expanding your vision, unlocking new ideas, and embracing innovative ways to manifest your dreams.
Water Initiation
Water, the element of flow, renewal, and emotional healing, is a profound force that gently guides us toward inner clarity and peace. At this retreat, we’ll embrace the cleansing power of Water to wash away the old, nourish our souls, and open ourselves to new possibilities.
Water has a unique ability to cleanse and purify, not just our bodies, but our minds and spirits as well. During this retreat, you’ll be invited to immerse yourself in sacred water rituals that will help you release emotional burdens, cleanse your energy, and reconnect with your deepest self. Whether it’s the cool, refreshing dip in the pool of mountain water, the tranquil flow of a stream, or the calming presence of a waterfall, Water will be your guide in this journey of renewal.
Fire Initiation
​Fire, a powerful force of transformation, passion, and renewal, it is more than just a physical phenomenon; it’s a symbol of the inner strength and resilience that burns within each of us. During this retreat, we’ll tap into the transformative power of Fire to ignite your inner flame and guide you on a journey of profound self-discovery.
​
Through guided fire rituals and ceremonies, you’ll have the opportunity to release what no longer serves you, burning away old patterns, limiting beliefs, and past hurts. This is your chance to let go, to cleanse and purify your spirit, making space for new growth and possibilities. As the flames rise, so too will your courage, passion, and determination, empowering you to step into the fullness of your authentic self.
