Wildcraft & Wellness
Hortense, Georgia • March 18-21,2027
An Experience of Rest, Renewal, & Reawakening
This Wildcraft & Wellness Retreat isn’t just another nature getaway — it’s a sacred pause for you who are ready to come home to yourselves. This retreat will offer you…
REST: With the quiet beauty of the land holding you, you’ll be guided back into stillness — not as something to earn, but as something deeply deserved. Let your nervous system exhale as you soften into spacious mornings, gentle movement, and true rest.
RITUAL: Through ceremony, nature connection, and intentional bodywork, you’ll experience ritual as a way of remembering — not performing. Whether it’s brewing tea with awareness, moving your body with care, or gathering in circle, you’ll rediscover the sacred in the simple and the everyday.
REAWAKENING: As winter begins to thaw, so too will parts of you that have been waiting quietly beneath the surface. This retreat invites clarity, courage, and reconnection — a soft yet undeniable reawakening of who you truly are, and what you’re here to bring into the world.

The Retreat Space
Step onto the 140-acre Fox Pen Property in Southeast Georgia, where nature’s beauty and history captivate you instantly. Once home to sharks millions of years ago, you will still find sand dunes and palm fronds spreading throughout the space.
It was acquired by Evan’s dad, Doyle, in 1999. Doyle embraced the land’s history, rolling with the name of “Fox Pen” by theming it around Joel Chandler Harris’ tales from The Song of the South, which you’ll see in the unique cabin names. Today, Fox Pen offers a timeless escape, where life slows down, nature thrives, and you’re free to relax and enjoy simple pleasures.
What once was a single bedroom cabin and the “whiskey stand” now hosts 5 unique hand-built cabins, which can comfortably accommodate 20 guests. Plus, there’s ample outdoor space for tents.
3 nights of cozy, rustic lodging — bedding, linens, and comfort provided in shared or private cabins.
Nourishing meals & snacks from Thursday dinner to Sunday breakfast, crafted with love and intention
Warm beverages always available: coffee, herbal teas, and clean spring water
Opening & closing circles, guided reflections, and gentle rituals to root your experience in meaning
Daily yoga sessions with Evan, including both Vinyasa and Yin practices, meditation, breathwork, sound healing, and optional hands-on assists — accessible to all ages and experience levels
Guided nature walk, plant foraging & herbal medicine making with Nora Luce — reconnecting you to the earth’s rhythms and remedies
Chi Gong with Amy Parker.
Spacious free time to rest, journal, nap, hike, or connect with others in “Soulful Space” blocks throughout the weekend
Exclusive access to games & activities around Fox Pen: corn hole, table tennis, shuffleboard, cards and board games (bring your favorites too!)
Evening bonfire beneath the stars, with optional music, dance, or shared stories
140 acres of private land to roam freely — gated, peaceful, and nestled along Satilla Creek
Uninterrupted stargazing far from city lights — let the night sky speak to you
Wildlife encounters with deer, owls, foxes, raccoons, wild turkeys, and more — nature in her true form
Integration tools and community support to help you carry the retreat’s insights back into your daily lif
What’s Included
Our Promise
The Wildcraft & Wellness Retreat is designed to soothe your body and stir your soul. And to take it further, you will walk away with rituals, tools, and embodied wisdom to carry forward into your real world experience.
This retreat is an invitation to remember who you really are. Away from the noise of expectation and routine, you’ll have space to shift — gently, bravely — into a truer version of yourself. You may leave with new practices, yes… AND also with a new name for yourself, a new way of walking in the world, or simply the courage to keep becoming.

Meet the Team
-
Ceremonialist, Folk Herbalist & Council Leader
As a folk herbalist, steward of the earth, and founder of Critical Ritual, Nora has spent over seven years weaving together plant medicine, sacred ceremony, and community healing in the Lowcountry of South Carolina.
She first came to Monteverde as a college student, learning the names of plants before she fully understood what they were trying to teach her. She has returned again and again — as someone who keeps being called back. This land is not new to her. She has walked it in seasons of maidenhood, seasons of grief, seasons of becoming, and seasons of deep initiation.
Nora's work is rooted in the Wise Women Tradition of Healing, ethnobotany, and a deep belief that the plants carry medicine for each of us — we just have to learn to listen. She holds ceremony knowing that each of us needs these spaces to tap into Earth’s intelligence and our lineage connection. It would be her honor to walk beside you into this forest.

Evan Watson, the proud owner of Flow Into Yoga. She started this business to share her passion for all things yoga as a way to unite people to their highest potential. What started out as an outlet for virtual classes in 2020 is now transforming into a traveling yoga business.
