Unplug & Recharge Retreat

Come to Magic Tree Sanctuary in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia for a one-day retreat to step away from the noise and reconnect with yourself in the stillness of the forest.

• Begin the morning with a shinrin-yoku forest bathing session to awaken your senses to receive the medicine of the natural world.
• Enjoy a nourishing vegetarian lunch prepared with intention and care.
• Tap into joy and creativity through expressive arts activites—no special skills needed, just a willingness to play.
• The rest of the day is yours to retreat in the way your soul needs: meditate, journal, explore, practice yoga, or simply rest in a hammock under the trees.

When: Saturday, July 19, 2025 | 10:00am until 5:00pm

Where: Magic Tree Sanctuary, a private 53-acre property in Meadows of Dan, Virginia

Registration: $100 ~ includes the program and vegetarian lunch

Beautiful landscape carefully maintained by people who truly appreciate what Mother Nature has provided. I greatly enjoyed the Unplug event packed with fun, fellowship, delicious food and education. I’m looking forward to returning! — Cat Sink

After the passing of my mother I was in desperate need of healing. I spent a weekend with Julie ’s magic trees and it was wonderful. Much needed food for my soul. Julie was super sweet with a smile so warm I knew instantly that I was in the right place. There’s not a better way to spend a lazy afternoon than to nap in a hammock under those beautiful trees. I highly recommend spending time at Magic Tree Sanctuary. Truly a slice of heaven, made even more special because of Julie ’s kindness.— Ava Maria Cara Suarez

A perfectly wonderful experience.— Gayle Snyder

Magic Tree Sanctuary is a place of peace and healing. The “unplug and recharge” retreat I attended was exactly what I needed! I was disconnected from all my electronics, and focused on the woods, rocks, and water. I was with wonderful people, and the hospitality shown by Julie was from her hearts and full of real joy at sharing this place with us. I will return over and over! — Catherine Fannon
