Some things can’t be rushed. Rest. Creativity.
Create. Resonate. Restore. is an all-inclusive four-day, three night retreat nestled in the wooded bluffs of Sewanee, Tennessee, a place designed for exactly the kind of deep reset that busy life never quite reaches. Tucked into 15 acres of private conservation land at The Rising Sun Retreat, you’ll trade your to-do list for morning yoga, sound baths under the trees, and the quiet joy of making art just because it feels good.
We designed this retreat around three simple ideas: your body deserves stillness, your nervous system needs sound, and your hands remember things your mind has forgotten.

Your Guides & Chef
Dr. Jazmin Chavez is a Nashville-based sound healer, yoga teacher, and former educator who found her way to sound healing through her own experience with teacher burnout. She holds a Level 2 UK Diploma from the Sound Healing Academy and a Feeltone Level 4 Monochord certification, and works with a rare, carefully curated collection of instruments — crystal and Himalayan bowls, gongs, monochords, and more. Her sessions move the body from the inside out.
Miranda Fuller is a Nashville-based artist, designer, and RYT 500 yoga and certified Hot Pilates teacher with a BFA from the Corcoran College of Art and Design and over two decades of professional creative practice. Her yoga offerings span Vinyasa, Restorative, Yin, and Gentle Flow. Her art classes create space for intuition, play, and unexpected beauty.
Mitchel Pendergast, ALPC-MHSP is a Nashville-based is a therapist and devoted culinary enthusiast who believes some of life’s most meaningful moments happen around the table. Before becoming a therapist, he spent five years working in restaurant kitchens, where he discovered that preparing a meal is as much about connection as nourishment. While his career eventually led him to therapy, his love for cooking has never left. In many ways, both paths have taught him the same thing: people heal when they feel safe, nourished, and connected. He creates seasonal meals that invite guests to slow down, share stories, feel grounded, and cared for.
Together, they bring something you won’t find at most retreats: immersive sound, mindful movement, creative expression, and thoughtfully prepared meals, each one creating space for connection and restoration.
