Fan the Flame
North Georgia Mountains • Ellijay, Ga.
Find what sets your soul on FIRE. Reconnect with yourself and your Creator.
Learn about Ketogenic eating from Keto Cook and founder of Fattyhead, Laura Manivong.
The North Georgia Mountains will be alive with color this October as autumn takes center stage. Come experience the glory of "God's country" with Shine Again Yoga's Sarah J. Clark at a remote cabin retreat. Sarah has been a nature-loving explorer since she toddled alongside her free-spirited mother on Epic Excursions: creek stomping, river rafting (on driftwood!), fence climbing, among many others. Sarah now shares her love for adventure with others through yoga-related endeavors.
​
This October join Sarah on one (or two) treks through the North Georgia Mountains. Sample wines at one of Georgia's finest wineries. You'll even have time for your own Epic Excursion on the vast cabin grounds. Four yoga sessions will also be offered followed by guided conversations on finding what sets your soul on fire. It's a journey to understand your natural gifts and explore how to use them.
​
Keto Cook and founder of Fattyhead, Laura Manivong, will prepare and serve all meals on site. She will also hold an informative session on ketogenic eating and how it transformed her ENTIRE life. A self-proclaimed 'food addict,' Laura holds nothing back. Her story is real. Raw. And inspiring. She's found what sets her soul on fire and she's living Out Loud. On Purpose. And she's sharing her gift and passion with others. We can't wait for you to meet her!
