Wildcraft & Wellness
Hortense, Georgia • March 18-21,2027
An Experience of Rest, Renewal, & Reawakening
This Wildcraft & Wellness Retreat is a nature getaway — it is also a sacred pause for you to come home to yourself.
This retreat will offer you…
REST: Spacious mornings, gentle movement, and fresh air. Fox Pen sits miles from any major city, tucked deep in the woods, where birds, frogs, and crickets make up the soundscape. This is a time to be cared for: a place to receive support and settle into earth’s pace as winter eases into spring.
RITUAL: Tea ceremonies, nature walks, and intentional bodywork. The schedule sets a gentle cadence of practices that help you drop into connection with your spirit, so you can hear more from your heart than your head.
REAWAKENING: As winter thaws in our outer ecosystem, it thaws in our inner one too. Each new season gives us a chance to set fresh intentions and make room for our values and desires to shape the months ahead. After four days in the wilderness, you’ll walk out with a clearer sense of what matters most to you.

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

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.
