About this Event
Peace, Love, Happiness Retreat 2025
Are you craving a warm and vibrant wellness community, and new perspective? Join us for a weekend of pure magic at the Peace, Love, and Happiness Retreat, where zen vibes meet festival feels.
Welcome to a beautiful mountainous backdrop, where the cozy Cross Trails Hostel is nestled in the Wild and Wonderful Appalachian mountains. Picture this: morning yoga sessions that’ll have you feeling zen AF, workshops designed to gain clarity and compassion, but also some festie vibes with plenty of time to enjoy nature, hang out, peruse vendors, and dance. Whether you're into mindfulness, healing, or just vibing with awesome people, this retreat is all about getting out of your own way to be the fullest expression of yourself.
Think of it as the perfect balance between affirming your inner peace and letting loose with your tribe. You’ll leave feeling recharged, inspired, and with a few new moves to show off on the dance floor. We've got a range of activities planned for you—from forest bathing to detox your soul, to energizing somatic healing movement to the beats of world- influenced dance music. Tickets come with 3 days and 3 nights of accommodations, meals, programming, plus some curated goodies to take home with you.
All meals are plant-based and major allergen free (no nuts, dairy or gluten).
So, grab your bestie, or come solo (you’ll make new friends, promise!), and let’s create some unforgettable memories.
Can’t wait to see you there! 🌸

Meet The Facilitators
Bradley: Facilitator, Astrologer and Breathwork Coach
Bradley is a Truth Seeker who has studied and practiced various wisdom teachings, including Hinduism, Buddhism, the Law of One, Abrahamic religions, Mysticism, Astrology, Yoga, Human Design/Gene Keys, and many more! His diverse background and genuine curiosity led him to becoming a well-rounded wisdom teacher. Through his company Harpu Collective, he curates trauma-informed, 1-on-1 and group containers that help bring the collective consciousness home.
On a personal note, he is a disciplined and playful single father of four beautiful daughters, chess wizard, Mixed Martial Arts fighter, and he likes to dance on the weekends! Bradley’s unique journey has taught him that while the earth is unstable and continually changing, the only constant is God. As he surrenders every moment of his life, he is learning lessons around boundaries, self-regulation, intimacy, abundance, Oneness, and many more things. He loves to share his stories and facilitate somatic exercises with the collective conscious to inspire others as they go about this crazy journey called “life.”
Lindsey : Facilitator, Yoga Teacher and Sound Healer
Lindsey is a 200 HR RYT and Sound Healer. She received her certification back in the Winter of 2017. Since then Lindsey has taught yoga all over the United States and to all walks of life.

Sound has always played a huge part in Lindsey's life and has grown; from being a dancer to being the one who supplies the sound. The gift of working with sound has been a dream come true to show people how sound can benefit them.
She focuses on facilitating safe spaces for all to focus on their energy and light within. Join Lindsey in Yoga and Sound Healing throughout the weekend.
Lindsey also has her BA in Fashion Design and continues to do Art and Design throughout her life. She looks forward to using her artistic gifts with you all during crafts throughout the weekend and curating a magical experience with you all.
