Introducing Seasonal Mini-retreats, exclusively designed for each season!
Though guests can choose “a-la-carte” from our curated menu of experiences year round, 2022 marks the first ever release of exclusive, seasonal mini-retreats that incorporate limited edition, off-menu experiences.
These mini-retreats are designed to connect you more deeply to yourself, each other, and Asheville in alignment with the season and, because they’re private/exclusive to each group, can be reserved according to your schedule, releasing you from the constraints of a traditional retreat with set-dates!

Description:
Settle in, get cozy, and relax into the magic of the mountains this winter and let the team at Asheville Wellness Tours bring the retreat experience to you! Take the morning for yourself to sleep in, hit the trail, indulge in a gourmet brunch, or settle into a cozy nook with your favorite book. In the afternoon, your retreat begins!
First, gather around the crackling fire and dive into the ancient archetypes of the tarot. Often rowdy and always soulful, a tarot reading can mark a rite of passage, spark deeper conversations, and strengthen vital friendships. There are often a few tears, lots of laughs, and plenty of group discussion during this fun and illuminating experience that offers you a deeper connection to everyday magic.
Follow your journey into your inner landscapes with a relaxing massage in the comfort of your own space. Even better? We’ll have a private chef on hand to whip up a three course, farm-to-table dinner while you’re relaxing. Yes, you can absolutely come to dinner in your pj’s and robe. Formal attire not required 😉

Forest Bathing
Guided vision boarding experience* or Tarot Reading
Description:
Venture out into the mountains then journey inward on a custom, full day mini-wellness-retreat with Asheville Wellness Tours!
Bundle up and venture out to experience the magic of the forest in winter. Soak up the stillness and peace on a guided Forest Bathing walk. While the practice of nature and forest therapy is inspired by Shinrin-Yoku, the Japanese art of “forest bathing,” our form of forest therapy refers to spending time in nature in a way that invites healing for both us, our fraught ecosystems and our community. The forest is the therapist. Your certified forest therapy guide opens the door.
Together, we’ll restore our relationship with ourselves and the land with a slow, gentle walk (2 – 3 hours), enhancing our health, wellness, happiness and creativity. We’ll end with a tea ceremony featuring a wildcrafted infusion and snacks. Upon departure, we’ll have an enhanced appreciation for the natural world and a practice we can apply in our daily lives.
It’s amazing what nature reveals when we give ourselves permission to slow down, quiet our minds and awaken our senses!
Following your morning adventure, return to the cozy warmth of the crackling fire in the lounge and tap into your sense of intuition and introspection as you settle into a guided Vision Boarding exercise or Tarot Reading.

In-home massage and foot soak*
Private Chef Dinner or Ayurvedic Cooking Class*
Description:
Unplug and unwind on a Blue Ridge Mountain adventure then retreat to your cozy abode for the perfect balance of Vitamin (N)ature and rest. Get ready for total relaxation while the team at Asheville Wellness Tours takes care of the details so you can focus solely on your time together.
Start your morning with a dose of fresh air and wide open spaces by hitting the trail! Get your heart pumping as you soak in the soft serenity of the mountains in winter time on a two mile, easy/moderate round trip hike to a local’s favorite summit with unbeatable views. Once there, move into an hour of warming yoga for all levels and enjoy a moment to foster deeper connections with yourself, each other, and our wild places.
After an invigorating morning, it’s time to rest! Retreat back to your comfy space where a team of massage therapists will treat you and your crew to 60 min massages and warming foot soaks to help you settle into a state of relaxation.
No need to disrupt your moment of zen as you round out your day or worry about reservations/parking/transportation. We’ll bring the food scene to you! Choose to go hands-on with the farm to table movement under the expert direction of a local chef with a cooking class or opt for a seasonal three-course meal, plated and served while you lift not a single finger. Either way, this full day retreat is sure to set you up to drift off peacefully, sleep soundly, and wake up refreshed. Sweet dreams!
