You’ve been carrying so much.


The noise, the demands, the “shoulds.” It’s no wonder you feel stretched thin... even your rest may not be feeling restful.

What if, for just one weekend, you gave yourself full permission to unplug from the swirl... and root yourself in stillness, simplicity, and nature’s quiet medicine?

This isn’t an escape. It’s a return.

Nestled in 25 beautiful acres in Hocking Hills in Central Ohio walking distance of Old Mans Cave, you can experience a peaceful respite and replenishing oasis of forests, streams, and sky.

Join us Friday October 2nd at 5:30pm through Sunday October 4th, 2026 at 12pm.

Centering sessions

Through gentle movement, guided practices, and the support of a compassionate community, these centering sessions will help you return to yourself. Each session is designed to deepen your connection with both your inner landscape and the natural world around you, offering clarity, calm, and renewed energy to carry into your everyday life.

Nature-based mindfulness practices

You'll be immersed in beautiful nature. In addition, you'll have the option of taking solo hikes, engaging in group forest bathing experiences, and taking part in nature-based meditations to ground, center, and replenish your energy. 

Open space for quiet connection with yourself, others, & nature

Gray Ridge offers a beautiful indoor space with plenty of deck and patio space, and plenty of space to rest and reconnect with yourself. 

Outside, you’ll find a hot tub, a beautiful fire pit, majestic nature, and an easy walk to the scenic Old Man's Cave of Hocking Hills State Park. 

I'm ready to go!

Meet the Retreat In Nature Facilitators 

Hi! I'm Elizabeth Mintun

I am a psychotherapist and mindful life coach. I've helped hundreds of people shift from feeling depleted and overwhelmed to living with greater confidence, energy, and inspiration. 

I know firsthand the power of reflection and self-care in creating a more fulfilling and balanced life. Through my many years of work with people in psychotherapy, as well as coaching, I have found that the most life-changing results can come from reflection, retreat, and connection in nature. 

Sometimes we need to get away from our daily life and responsibilities in order to truly find the rest and replenishment we need. This can be even more powerful within a compassionate and intentional community. 

You might be surprised how much you'll be replenished from one weekend way AND how much these your new energy and insights can enhance your daily life. 

Grounded Renewal Retreat Facilitators 

Hi! I'm Ami Peacock 

I am a licensed social worker and have worked in schools, non-profits, hospitals, and churches doing community outreach programs in the U.S. and other countries. 

I love finding ways for people to connect with themselves and with each other.

I have been practicing mindfulness and yoga for over 30 years. I've been attending retreats since I was in high school. Retreats have always been a place for me to reset. To feel my feet on the ground. To remember who I am. 

Health and wellness have been instrumental in my life. Mind, body, and Spirit connection has kept me grounded. I have given various workshops on self-care and compassion fatigue. It is critical to care for ourselves in order to care for others. 

I hope you will join us and find a space to BE. To be still. To rest. To connect with yourself, with the earth, and with others.
