The Forest Retreat

Reflect, reconnect, and realign in a women’s retreat designed for meaningful movement, heartfelt conversation, quiet moments of stillness, and time shared in the forest. Tara Blackburn and Amanda Steadman invite you one last time to gather at Indigo Nature Retreat, a place filled with beautiful memories, deep connection, and many meaningful conversations.

Taking place October 21-24, 2026 in Old Fort, North Carolina, this retreat offers a restorative pause as autumn settles in. Set on five acres and surrounded by more than 1,000 acres of untouched forest in Pisgah National Forest, Indigo Nature Retreat is also accompanied by the gentle sounds of Newberry Creek, creating a peaceful natural backdrop for your time away.

Yogis of all levels are welcome, and space is limited to preserve an intimate experience. While this retreat is lovely to share with a friend or partner, those traveling on their own are equally welcome. If you have questions about accommodations, please reach out before booking.

Your Forest Retreat package includes yoga and meditation classes, nourishing vegetarian meals, 3 nights of cabin accommodation, Shinrin-Yoku (forest bathing), a waterfall hike and picnic, a soothing sound bath, and more. There will also be plenty of free time for reflection and simply being present in nature.
