New Moon Renewal
A Restorative Mountain Yoga Retreat
September 10th- 13th 2026
Join Torre Hinnant for a magical 4 days of yoga, Meditation and connection in nature.
Moon Rising Retreat Center nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of NC
RESTORE, RESET & AWAKEN TO YOUR ESSENCE
Something magical and deeply healing happens when we intentionally step away from the noise of daily life and return to the rhythms of nature. When we slow down enough to feel the sun on our skin, the earth beneath our feet, and the whisper of mountain air, we create space to honor our own biorhythms. In this spaciousness, our intention deepens. Our awareness moves inward. Our energy centers awaken and harmonize through ancient, embodied practices designed to nourish the whole being.
Aligned with the power of the new moon, this retreat invites you into a portal of transformation. As you reconnect with your inner landscape, you remember who you truly are—beyond responsibilities, expectations, and roles. This remembering is potent. Once ignited, it begins to infuse every aspect of your life with clarity, vitality, and purpose.
Guided by Torre, this immersive experience blends yoga, breathwork, meditation, nature connection, and mindful living to help you restore, reset, and realign with your spiritual essence. Each day offers opportunities to soften, expand, and return home to yourself.
Our group will enjoy exclusive, private access to all amenities at Moon Rising Retreat Center—a 22-acre sacred nature sanctuary nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, with the Yadkin River flowing gently through the property. Located just minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway and the charming shops and restaurants of Blowing Rock, NC, this serene haven is the perfect backdrop for deep renewal.
Join us for a journey into embodied presence, inner alchemy, and the bliss of remembering your true nature.

Sound Healing Journey with Cheryl
Cheryl is a Virginia-based Certified Sound Practitioner, jewelry designer, aromatherapist, crystal enthusiast and educator. She thoughtfully combines these modalities to bring a unique healing experience to her customers and clients while encouraging them to find and FOLLOW their BLISS!
The use of sound has been used by cultures around the world and through the centuries to induce meditation, relaxation, control pain and manage other physical and emotional issues. Sound Healing (aka Singing Bowl Meditation) enhances relaxation and effortlessly allows the body to activate self-healing. The soft, soothing tones of the singing bowls open the flow of energy in the body for physical, emotional, mental and spiritual transformation. Sound Healing sessions can reduce stress and anxiety, clear and rebalance the chakras, and help clear emotional blockages.
Sound synchronizes brain waves to achieve profound states of relaxation, helping to restore the normal vibratory frequencies of the cells in our bodies. Sound healing can help you clear energetic blockages and thus facilitate healing on a physical and mental level.

“This was an amazing weekend. My body and mind were both so relaxed, at ease, and present by the end of the retreat. Thank you.”

“Going into the retreat, I was suffering from a great deal of loss. My sister just passed two weeks prior. I found that being in the retreat was exactly what I needed. It nourished my mind, body, and my soul. The entire retreat experience left me feeling uplifted and loved as if I were floating with an enormous cozy blanket wrapped around me. Upon returning home, I intuitively had the answers about the next steps in my life. Thank you Torre for creating an experience that I will return to again and again and for helping me find answers in my heart for the next steps in my life.” -Laura
