The Embodied WayShower Retreat
Thurs, August 17th - Sun, August 20th, 2023
BEND OF IVY LODGE - MARSHALL, NC
Welcome to The Embodied WayShower!
Have you been a spiritual seeker for many years, maybe even lifetimes but are still struggling to embody those teachings? Do you feel that its hard for you to hold the knowings you’ve grasped cognitively in your daily life? Do you want to strengthen your connection to source and the earth, while also embodying more of your true self?
Embodiment is about reclaiming our birthright to live in a harmonious, connected state with ourselves and the world around us. When we embody our true selves, we tap into a deep well of wisdom and intuition that guides us towards a fulfilling, authentic life. An embodied wayshower is someone who guides others onto their path simply by being themselves.
Discover a path to true embodiment, mindfulness, and authentic living through this transformative retreat. Immerse yourself in a supportive community of like-minded individuals, as you engage in a journey of self-discovery and growth.
The Embodied WayShower is designed to help you break free from limiting beliefs, cultivate greater self-awareness, and develop a more harmonious relationship with yourself and the world around you.
During this retreat, you'll participate in a variety of activities and channeled teachings and workshops, sound and vibrational energy healing ceremonies, yoga and conscious movement practices, meditation, breathwork and other somatic practices and journaling exercises, among others. These practices will help you cultivate a deeper connection with your body and its wisdom, so you can tap into the wisdom within and live with greater presence, purpose, and passion.
Join us on this empowering journey
Leave feeling renewed, refreshed, and ready to live life to the fullest. Take the first step towards becoming the embodied, mindful, and authentic person you were always meant to be!
Creating a deeper connection to self
Katie & Josh will support you in:
Promoting consistent access to your true divine essence
Creating alignment and ease in mind, body and spirit
Releasing attitudes and behaviors that sabotage you on your path to happiness and fulfillment
Expanding your connection to source, earth and community
Clearing your channel to help you access and embody your full power and potential
Katie and Josh’s unique ability to channel high frequency vibrations through sound and energy healing while also imparting the knowledge of ancient esoteric teachings, miraculously results in each participant receiving exactly what they need at this point in their journey.
As we come together in a retreat setting to practice these frequency enhancing tools and experience evenings of healing ceremonies carefully crafted to anchor in new ways of being, we access the power of group consciousness which can magnify the shifts we experience.

THE SPACES BETWEEN
- RECHARGE & INTEGRATE
There will be ample pockets of time to relax and rejuvenate. When we experience shifts in consciousness, we may need time alone to feel into the changes and shift with ease.
The Retreat Setting
Bend of Ivy Lodge is located just outside Asheville, North Carolina, nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains. With over 63-acres of private stewarded land, that offers unique and unforgettable views, experiences and spaces to soak up mother earth’s healing vibes. Our retreat group will have the entire property to ourselves, a lush wonderland of nature awaits us.
“Bend of Ivy Lodge has become the model of a retreat
center for me and our Leadership programs. The deep and obvious care of the land is present in the beautiful and mindful way that both the gardens and the buildings
are cared for. The work that I get to do here is transformative; the place makes it sacred.”

How we nourish our bodies as we move through shifts and transformations is critical. From my many years of attending retreats some of my favorite memories come from the connections and conversations had over meals.
The food will be fresh & seasonal with options for those who are gluten or dairy sensitive as well as vegan or vegetarian. In addition, a kitchen is available onsite should you have additional dietary restrictions that need to be supported.
