Align and Restore
November 6-9, 2025
A return to wholeness.
Nestled in the serene forest at Atavi We of the North Carolina mountains, this retreat is a gentle homecoming—a space where ancient Ayurvedic wisdom meets the quiet rhythms of the natural world. Guided by Crystal Tartaglia, you’ll be lovingly supported through an immersive, hands-on journey that brings timeless healing practices into the flow of your everyday life.
Here, you won’t just learn Ayurveda—you’ll remember it. Like the whisper of the wind through the trees or the warmth of sun on your skin, these teachings awaken something already within you. Each ritual, each herb, each meal becomes a doorway—an invitation to reconnect with your inner wisdom and align with the deep intelligence of nature.
Over the course of this retreat, you’ll explore how to create grounding daily rituals, nurture your body through nourishing treatments, and craft a lifestyle that supports balance, vitality, and grace. Crystal will hold space for you to listen inward, to slow down, and to rediscover the sacredness in the simplest moments.
This is more than a getaway—it's a reawakening. A chance to turn your life into a sanctuary. A return to the beauty, softness, and strength that has always been yours.
