Remember
the Way
A Ceremonial Nature and Nervous System Reset Retreat Using the Four Original Medicines
Reserve Your PlaceA Return to Ancient Rhythms
In the peaceful mountains outside Asheville, North Carolina, we gather to remember. For five days, we return to practices that have held communities together throughout human history — song, dance, storytelling, and silence.
This is not an intensive training and it's not your average retreat. It is an invitation to come home to yourself - to your body, your breath, your belonging. To allow nature to do her healing work. To find your voice. To meet yourself and others in ceremony.
Held by Alexander Awakens and Georgia Be, facilitators with deep roots in plant medicine, yoga, voice awakening, and embodiment, Remember the Way offers a gentle, nourishing container for healing, deep rest, and authentic connection.
All meals are prepared with love by Chef Matt Buddenstein using local and organic ingredients from nearby farms. We gather as a small group of 12–15, honoring the intimacy that comes with close community.
