Your retreat is hosted in a beautiful mountain cabin on the grounds of the Kanuga Inn & Lodging, located at 471 Kanuga Chapel Dr, Hendersonville, NC 28739 (about 18 miles from the Asheville Regional Airport). Your ticket covers a 2 nights stay for non-commuters. The retreat center is surrounded by 1,400 acres of wild beauty, including a natural lake and walking trails.

We have secured a 4-bedroom modern cabin with a full commercial kitchen to accommodate our fun and healthy cooking classes. The 4-bedrooms is shared lodging, so first come-first-served for bedroom choices.

Please note this is a smoke-free and perfume-free environment. We realize our ladies enjoy wearing perfumes as well as therapeutic natural oils. However, we also realize that some may be allergic or have adverse reactions to certain scents, and we want to make sure this is a pleasant space for everyone.

Your ticket includes two days of juicy living! In addition to 2 nights of lodging for non-commuters and all meals, you'll also receive education and guidance on preparing healthy meals. You'll actually enjoy preparing meals together with Dr. Doris. All materials and cooking ingredients will be supplied for you. Plus, there will be plenty of free time for playing and relaxing here in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains.

For those flying in, your ticket includes 2 nights lodging, but does not include airport transportation. Popular ridesharing services such as Uber and Lyft are available.

We offer a full refund, less a $50 admin fee, if requested 30-days prior to the event. Due to the fact that this retreat is based on a small intimate group, we cannot offer refunds beyond the 30-day time commitment as that would not allow us enough time to fill the spot. However, your ticket may be transferrable to another guest at our discretion. Since this is a small group, an alternative guest would need to be vetted in advance to make sure they are a good fit for this particular event.

COVID-19: We are living in uncertain times, and we therefore ask that everyone be tested a week prior to attending the event. Should you test positive, a full refund, less the $50 admin fee, would be granted upon our receipt of a doctor's notice.

Refund requests must be in writing sent to acudancer1@gmail.com prior to the 30 day deadline. If less than 30 days, please attach your doctor's notice.

The safety of our attendees is at the top of our list of priorities and we will do everything we can to ensure that we follow guidelines for creating a safe environment for all.

Wearing a mask is not required at the retreat.

If you enjoy late evening/nighttime walks, you may want to bring a small flashlight, good walking shoes and refillable bottle for water.
