January 15–17, 2027 · Clyde, North Carolina

Come in from the rush of everyday life. Spend a winter weekend among women, with warming meals at the table, meaningful conversation, time to rest, and traditions that remind us how good it feels to gather.
Our small retreat will make space for connection and quiet alike. Join the conversation, dance with us, linger over breakfast, and take some time for yourself.
Eight guest places available. Choose the room that feels right for you.
Join us for two nights, three days of slow mornings, nourishing meals around the table, fireside conversations, and space to rest. We’ll share ancestral traditions, an evening of folklore and dancing, and time to enjoy the company of other women - along with guided & nourishing retreat activities.

The invitation
In the middle of winter, we’re making room to slow down. Come gather around the table for warm, homemade meals, unhurried conversation, and the kind of rest that’s hard to find in everyday life. There will be time to join in, time to step outside, and time to simply be.
Inspired by the ways women have long cared for one another, this weekend brings together food, stories, friendship, and traditions passed down through generations. We hope you’ll leave feeling nourished, connected, and a little more like yourself.
The Location
Our retreat will take place at a private mountain home near Clyde, North Carolina. A private and peaceful place surrounded by the mountains, where the days will slow down. Take in sweeping mountain views, gather around the table or by the fire, relax in the spa, and give ourselves permission to rest.

Meet Ashley:
I’m an Integrative Health Practitioner and the founder of Restored Integrative. My work is rooted in ancestral ways of nourishing the body, honoring its rhythms, and finding connection in the everyday. This retreat grew from a desire to make space for women to slow down, share warm meals, and feel cared for through the quiet of winter.
As a mother of two beautiful kiddos, I know how easily our own needs can get tucked behind caring for everyone else. In my own life, I’m learning to make room for rest, a slower pace, and the things that help me feel like myself. That’s part of what makes this retreat so personal to me, a space where women can feel supported, set down some of what they carry, and receive the care they so often give.
Together with my cohost, I’m bringing that vision to life through homemade food, fireside conversation, time in nature, and old traditions inspired and learned from my husband’s heritage.
We’d love to welcome you for a weekend of rest, warm meals, and connection, and to share in that nourishment alongside you.
Meet Freskida:
Freskida is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) by day, where she works with children and families to create meaningful change by shaping environments where both kids and parents can thrive. At her core, she has always been a gatherer , someone who loves bringing women together around a table, sharing a beautiful meal, and creating space for genuine connection.
Proud of her Albanian roots, family, culture, and tradition are an important part of who she is. She believes food is one of the most beautiful ways we share love and finds so much joy in cooking, setting a beautiful table, gathering women, and creating experiences that feel intentional and welcoming.
Freskida is also a mother of a precious daughter. One of her biggest hopes is to show her daughter what it looks like to chase your dreams, make space for the things that bring you joy, and surround yourself with a village of people who support and inspire you. She wants her daughter to grow up knowing that you can build a life that feels true to you while still making room for family, friendship, and community.
She is happiest when she is near body of water, waking up in early mornings, baking desserts and traveling the world. She loves long conversations, loud laughter, cooking for the people she loves, and gathering women around the table. She appreciates good food, beautiful spaces, and the simple things that make time together feel special.
This retreat is an extension of what she loves most , bringing women together, creating a beautiful space to connect, and making sure everyone leaves feeling a little more connected to themselves and to each other.
Gather. Cook. Connect ❤️
