Lead Your Nature Retreat, The Florrest, GA, USA
We landed on a 153-acre forest where the Creek Indians once lived here in middle Georgia. We're stewarding and sharing it with a grateful heart!
If you are a transformational leader or retreat host wanting to show up to guide your community in a nature sanctuary, this is the space to celebrate in a group of 12 people, experience deep connection, and joy while inviting them to rest & awaken through your leadership.
By the end of your retreat, you will feel empowered and rejuvenated by the experience of confidently guiding your group and seeing their gratitude. You will acknowledge that you are ready to show up more for yourself and the community you serve.
The sun just set behind the fragrant pines... you are nestled in the majestic event dome under a cosmo lit sky.
You feel your body relax and your heart unravel as you see all your group lying down on their backs in a sacred circle, soaking in the medicine of the day.
Through your entire being you feel the expansiveness of gratitude. You understand why this space is a nature sanctuary, a place to rest and awaken to possibility.

You are flooded with memories of walking through the forest, hearing the crackling of leaves under your feet, the chirping of birds up above, and feeling the cool creek water tickle your toes.
Laughter bubbles as your inner child thanks you for this moment. Your heart synchronizes with the heart beat of mother earth who has invited you to The Florrest.
Joy takes over, seeing how far you've come, how much you have transcended, and acknowledging the leader that you have become, inspiring others to walk confidently in their own journey.
It's your time to lead!
You have been transforming for years; taking courses, doing your own deep inner healing, going on retreats in amazing destinations, getting certified, reading books, supporting clients, and creating community.

It's here!
You are being powerfully called to show up in an exciting way!
You want to enjoy hosting a retreat so that you can keep doing it; guiding your group through an experience that they treasure and that profoundly impacts their lives:

You start by taking a meditation walk around the property to soak in the vibrations of the space, then sit down to become aware of the activities each space offers.
Harmony Hive (event dome - 1658 sq ft)

Entering this event dome, with its high ceiling and vibrant acoustics, you already feel in a sacred space. When souls come together with a clear intention, we create a larger ripple! This is the perfect space for yoga, dance, workshops, movement, roller-skate, sound healing, and connection.

Shoes off! The barefoot playground takes you on sensorial a journey; from rocks to wood, bamboo, pebbles, grass, and sand, to then hang from a ninja course and balance on a slack-line. Guiding your group, you see them become aware of themselves and connect with each other. As they play, laughter abounds and everyone relaxes.

Fire Pit
This is a sacred space for alchemical transformation as you honor the fire and set intentions!
Holding your cup of cacao medicine, you experience the brilliance of the stars, remembering how bright they've always been; listening to the sounds of crackling fire and crickets you feel grateful. As you look up... there's the big dipper! You allow yourself to receive the energy of the moon and connect to its cycles.
Was that a howl? You surrender to nature and let it envelop you.

Meet the Property Owner
Hi! Mena Teijeiro here. I began my spiritual journey in 2010 when I realized that I was living a life that wasn't authentic to me. For a decade I travelled around the World going on retreats and adventures each time my kids had time with their dad. I dedicated this time to healing my fear of public speaking, an eating disorder, chronic pain, navigating a difficult co-parenting experience, to anchor in my self love and sovereignty.
I am a possibilities igniter, Booth MBA, intuitive consultant, and development enthusiast. During 2015, I channeled my Awaken Flow™ framework and it supported me to radically transform my life and support others.
I founded The Florrest in 2020 and my two boys decided to move with their dad to continue their city life (they love visiting on holidays!). Instead of experiencing an empty nest, I developed the property to welcome guests and support transformation. My heart loves to offer space to celebrate life in a nurturing environment; I invite aligned souls to gather and lead their communities in a sustainable and joyful way.
