Relax Deeply with Daily Sound Healing

Each day Dawn and David, owners of Inner Wolf Retreat Space, play for you transporting sounds of gongs, crystal & Himalayan singing bowls, and other instruments to help the brain and body relax. Sound healing helps you gain clarity on grappling life issues, choose lovingkindness and a deepening innerstanding of yourself, and see life from new perspectives.

David Heiss and Dawn Sagonias are co-creators of the Inner Wolf Retreat Space and are both sound healing practitioners steeping in the soundscape since 2015. You get to enjoy several sound healing sessions during the retreat, which deepens your way of being You and resets your nervous system.

David offers mini soul astrology readings thoughout the weekend or full sessions if desired, to broaden innerstanding of your soul's journey--where you are coming from and where you are going.

Receive your Human Design Chart

Hayes Paden will be offering Human Design sessions during the weekend. These will include a personalized chart, education and coaching on how to live your design.

Hayes Paden is a psychotherapist who lives and works in Asheville. He has studied and brought Human Design concepts to his clients for 12 years.  He has also been a mindfulness meditator for 25 years.

 

Human Design shows you where and how to access your body’s consciousness as a decision-making tool, and ultimately, how to live as your true self. Human Design offers a map, or a manual, that indicates how you are unique as a person, and guides you in living in a manner that is in sync with who you are. When we live in alignment with our true nature, we begin to experience a level of comfort and acceptance for who we are, instead of chasing who we are not—and we’re able to live out our real purpose in the world.

Andrew Phillips will lead you in creating your own unique sacred geometry mandala. Sacred geometry is the building block for the world around us…every atom, every cell starts as a circle. 

Andrew lives and works in Asheville as a psychedelic guide and integration coach and a Reiki master.

Center Yourself with Nature

Enjoy the peaceful land of Inner Wolf Retreat Space with the sounds of the creek rushing by, the flowing ponds, the frog calls, and the fireflies. Relax by the crackling fire as the group bonds deepen and we free ourselves with a fire ceremony.

Connect To The Beauty of Creation

Allow yourself to connect to the earth in this beautiful location and feel the balancing that comes with grounding yourself to the earth. 

Lodging and What to Expect

Our rooms are rustic and  comfortable and have a unique repurpose of the original workshop building on the property. For retreats, the rooms are shared with up to 3 people since we have 3 rooms currently. There is usually great synchronicity at our events and new friendships are formed. That said, if you prefer your own space, we do have several tents and gear that we can set up for you to enjoy space by the creek.

We are also working to get a septic system installed for the overnight rooms and we have learned we have a really high water table on this land, making the septic situation more costly and complicated.....until that solution is reached, we have a CLEAN AND SERVICED WEEKLY portaloo shared only by your new friends at the retreat.

We do have an awesome shared shower room indoors with very hot water if desired, and also a soon to be completed summer outdoor shower.

Each overnight room has its own small fridge, hot water kettle, microwave, fan, heater, and small keurig. We are at 3400 ft. elevation and the evenings even in the heat of summer are cool & make for very comfortable sleeping.

These are our precious rooms in pictures below, and our very precious and prized portaloo that allows us to be able to host you comfortably. :) (Note: we do also have overnight chamber pots that you are responsible for if you need a nighttime alternative to visiting the clean and serviced portaloo.)
