Reconnect Under the Stars

BLND Health’s Great Smoky Mountains Retreat

May 15–19, 2022

Join us for a guided therapeutic experience where we’ll connect, reflect, and unplug together — ten miles away from the nearest WiFi connection.

  • When & Where

    We’ll be lodging together at Under Canvas Great Smoky Mountains, a campsite near Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. There are a variety of tent accommodations to suit your needs, beginning at $800. We’ll be there for five days and four nights, and breakfast will be provided daily.

  • Our Gathering

    The retreat will be led by Brooke Buys, founder of BLND Health; John Evans, Director of Mental Conditioning; Marissa Chabai, Director of Integrated Health; and Kimberly Lee-Tessmer, E-RYT-200. The maximum number of attendees will be capped at 20.

  • Included Activities

    We’ll start each day with a morning yoga practice led by Kimberly Lee-Tessmer. The rest of the day will be filled with team workshops, games, painting, trivia, live music, and more! We look forward to ending each day at our private campfire space for s’mores and mindfulness.

  • Add-Ons

    The following activities aren’t included in the retreat price, but will be available for purchase on-site: daily lunch, snacks, and dinner; private Thai massage sessions; private yoga sessions; off-site adventure sports (including whitewater rafting and guided hikes). Participants will also be responsible for covering their own round-trip airfare and ground transportation.
