These intimate, immersive weekend experiences are thoughtfully designed to weave together movement, time in nature, nourishing food, and deep rest. Guests are supported by beautiful accommodations and intentional gathering spaces that invite connection, reflection, and renewal—creating the perfect setting to slow down, reset, and return home grounded and inspired.

The space at Oak and ember was absolutely wonderful and I’m looking forward to attending many more retreats with Helen there.
It was uncomplicated, beautiful, and truly a wonderful weekend.

"I had such a wonderful experience at the weekend yoga retreat at Ember and Oak with Helen. Everything felt so thoughtfully curated—from the beautiful location to the absolutely delicious, nourishing food. The setting created the perfect space to slow down, reset, and truly be present.
What made it especially meaningful was the sense of community and camaraderie that naturally unfolded over the weekend. There was such a genuine, supportive energy among everyone there, which made the experience even more special.
Thank you, Helen, for creating such a grounding and memorable retreat, especially during the spring equinox—it felt like the perfect time for renewal and connection. I will be back! "
