ACCOMMODATIONS.
This gorgeous cabin is located in Hocking Hills and has everything we need for a beautiful heart-filled yoga retreat. It is the largest of the Idyll Reserve brand-new cabins, the Main House was built for entertaining. Perfect for a family or a group of friends. This cabin features a spacious great room with fully equipped kitchen, a cozy living and dining area and a gas fireplace. A large outdoor living area boasts a private hot tub, wood-burning fireplace, gas grill, dining and a cozy lounge area.
This cabin is suitable for guests who have accessibility needs. There is a large parking area, zero entry ramp to door, and step-less entry to all interior areas of the cabin. There is also a large zero entry outdoor covered deck. The outdoor platform is exceptional for our yoga classes.
The Main House has the following sleeping options: a king suite, a queen suite, a top and bottom bunk, and a pull out queen sofa couch.
Please note: the cabin has two private rooms with en suite bathrooms. The king suite has a free standing tub and shower that will be exclusive to those who reserve this space. The a queen suite is private, but the shower is shared among other retreat participants with the discretion of those in the queen suite. This arrangement has not caused any problems in the past. There is also a half bath for everyone to use.
My suggestion is two friends reserve the private room accommodations who don’t mind sharing the same bed. However, I have paired two people in the private suite wanting to attend solo, but also desired privacy and it worked out great. This is an option if you'd like one of the private rooms, but would prefer to come solo and don’t mind making a new friend.
If you would like to reserve one of the suites for yourself only, please write me and inquire about the difference in the reservation rate. This circumstance will change the number of participants who can attend this retreat, so your new rate will reflect that.

NOURISHMENT.
The retreat menu is intentionally hand crafted to nourish from the inside out. Each meal is made with love and with a focus on vibrancy for the heart and soul. We support our local farmers and makers when possible. All meals are vegetarian during the retreat.
If you have any special dietary needs or restrictions, we can happily accommodate.
IT TAKES BRAVERY FOR YOUR HEART TO REMAIN OPEN IN A WORLD LIKE THIS.
MEET YOUR GUIDE.
I have been leading workshops, retreats, and events to practitioners of all levels for years. Nothing fills my cup more than creating opportunities to bring people together in community, holding space for authentic freedom, and co-creating experiences that spark joy. The Wild Heart theme is personal. This curriculum comes from an embodied place that I have been called to share with others. I have learned more from people who are still healing than those who claim to be fully healed.
There is a bit of a leap of faith when signing up for a retreat with people you may not know in a place you may not be familiar with. The magic happens in the space between support and acceptance. You will be cared for along the way as we tap into our wildest heart’s desires.
If you are thinking of joining us, then there is no better time to answer the call.
