Step into UNCUT — a four-day liminal retreat where wilderness, ritual, and embodied practice invite you to reclaim pieces of yourself waiting for recognition. In the untouched beauty of Little Switzerland, NC, you’ll slow down, reflect, and integrate with intention — in community and solitude alike.
Step into a sanctuary where the wild meets the sacred. Nestled in the quiet mountain village of Little Switzerland, just a short journey from the thunderous power and ancient hush of Linville Falls and Linville Gorge, this four-day retreat invites you to shed the layers of the polished self and return to what is raw, radiant, and whole—the uncut truth of who you are.
Why This Place Matters
Carved deep into the Blue Ridge, the Linville Gorge Wilderness is often called the Grand Canyon of the East. Within its 12,000-acre expanse lies one of the last old-growth forests of the southern Appalachians—a realm of untouched power, stillness, and fierce beauty.
Designated under the 1964 Wilderness Act, this landscape remains a protected temple of solitude and reverence.
Here, the forest remembers.
The rocks hold time.
The falls both roar and whisper.
In this wild, uncut land, you are invited to meet yourself—untethered, unedited, and unabashed.
In this sacred wilderness container, you won’t simply relax — you’ll arrive, witness, and integrate. This is a place to face the parts of you that long for recognition, rest, and reintegration into wholeness.
Your investment supports an intimate container of growth, reflection, community, and ritual — not just a retreat, but a threshold experience that stays with you.

At the heart of UNCUT is integration—the dance of light and dark, the seen and unseen, the parts of us we hide and those we long to reveal. Guided by Existential Kink by Carolyn Elliott (required reading before arrival), we will:
Name and honor the shadow — the hidden, rejected, forbidden threads of our being.
Invite the golden shadow — the brilliance we’ve disowned or diminished.
Merge both through ritual, yoga, movement, meditation, sound, and communion with nature—leaving more whole, embodied, and awake than we arrived.
You came here to heal and to hide no more. To let your rough edges and radiant core live in sacred dialogue.
Daily Flow Includes:
• Morning yoga & breathwork
• Guided hike through wilderness
• Intentional circles & communal reflection
• Sound healing and ritual practice
• Space for journaling, rest, and integration

What We Ask of You
Read Existential Kink by Carolyn Elliott before the retreat.
Bring your full self—light, longing, and unanswered questions.
Hold space for others; lean into both the hush of the forest and the roar of the falls.
Manage your own transportation; we’ll handle the rest.
Honor the sacred circle of six—this intimacy is intentional.
What You’ll Leave With
You’ll return home not just rested — but transformed in how you relate to your inner landscape, with tools, embodied practices, and experiences that continue to support your life beyond the retreat.
If you’re ready to cross this threshold—to walk into the wilderness within and reclaim the uncut, unbroken truth of who you are—your circle awaits.
