Description of the Retreat

The Delight in Healthy Living 101 class is a wellness retreat rooted in the principles of East Asian Medicine. We operate under the theory that long term healthful changes will not be enacted unless they are delightful to us.

Each day there will be varied meditation classes, fun ( not boring ) lectures, surprise activities, and group acupuncture.

During our 3 night 4 day class we will also have time to explore the surrounds of Heartwood retreat center, and hike, take saunas, receive a massage, or enjoy an evening fire pit.

Everyday we eat well, learn and play in advancement of our health and it is nothing short of a blast

Teacher/Teachings

Susan Fox is an East Asian Medicine practitioner with an active clinic, Hill City Acupuncture and Herbs located in Chattanooga, TN. She is also a certified Qigong teacher and Shinrin Yoku leader.

Jackie Wilson is an East Asian Medicine Practitioner with a clinic Whole Health Wisconsin, located in Milwaukee, WI. She is accomplished at Tai Chi and is a certified yoga instructor.

Facilities

As the retreat will transpire in a wooded setting insects and poison ivy are a possibility, just as gorgeous plant life and stellar views are a probability.

All accommodations at Heartwood are shared bedrooms and shared baths, so invite your friends or get to know some new ones.

There are multiple saunas, a hot tub, a fire pit, many chill zones, and loads of hiking trails on campus

    Overall Experience

    I felt so fortunate for attending this health and wellness retreat in picturesque Blue Ridge, Georgia. Delight in Healthy Living was led by an amazing team of Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture school classmates/buddies: Sue and Jackie ensured that the curriculum was both educational and practical to put into everyday use. They are knowledgeable, easy going, and warm hearted women.
    The Heartwood Retreat Center was just so lovely, especially enjoying the nature, facilities , delicious healthy food with old and new friends. Bonding together in this lodge over a meal, at the fire pit , Thai message, or in the hot tub helped continue the ideas we learned during meditation, lecture, and fun activities. Highly recommended!

    Overall Experience

    I attended this retreat last year, and it wasn’t my first time experiencing retreats, but I was truly impressed with how well-structured it was. The combination of healing modalities—daily acupuncture, lectures, and Yoga made it a deeply restorative experience. The retreat is set in the most breathtaking location in the mountains of Georgia. I left feeling both emotionally lighter and healthier! The opportunity to receive acupuncture and massage every day was truly unique and played a huge role in my experience. I highly recommend this retreat to anyone looking to pause, recharge, learn something new, and reconnect with their well-being.

    I attended this retreat last spring and enjoyed every minute. The setting was beautiful, the food delicious, and Susan and Jackie were warm, knowledgeable, and friendly. They struck just the right balance of activity and relaxation. Information was presented in a way that was accessible and interesting. My highlights were the meditations, breathing exercises, acupuncture, and time spent outside. I left with a feeling of wellness and empowerment to incorporate the information into my daily life.

    Overall Experience

    I had the pleasure of being on Susan’s retreat last year. The location was in the woods with time allowed for walking and time in the evenings for a campfire. The food was yummy! Susan and Jackie were very personable and knowledgable. We had classes on healthy eating, meditation, and exercise. Massage was available at the site. there is a hot tub at the site so bring your swimsuit. i almost forgot to mention the accupuncture–be sure to try it! It was so nice to get away from everyday life and do something different! i hope to do it again sometime inhe future!

    We went on this retreat last year. It was my first retreat, and it was an enjoyable experience. The instructors were both very knowledgeable in acupuncture, yoga, and healthy living in general.
    The accommodations were very nice and the environment was significantly different than what we used to in Arizona. The hilly green terrain was a delight for us. The food and hospitality of the facility were very good and although we’re not vegetarians, I ate and enjoyed every meal. The session that revolved around minerals was a delightful, interesting conclusion.
    Both instructors susan and Jackie were delightful as well as the three persons that worked regularly at the resort in cooking and cleaning up.

    This retreat was the most relaxing weekend of my life. The instructors were amazing, the food was great, and the scenery and lodge were incredible. My mind and body felt wonderful for weeks after and I still use many of the techniques I learned at home.

Food

Vegetarian and Vegan food will be provided 3 meals a day, and all food allergies and sensitivities can be accommodated.

I must say the gourmet stylings of Christina is a reason alone to attend any retreat at Heartwood Center.
