Unleash Your Pleasure

"Into the Wild:" A Rewilding Retreat with Reba Corrine Thomas

Craving to cast off the shackles of modern life and reignite your primal spirit? This immersive 3-day, 2-night "Into the Wild" retreat invites you to shed inhibitions, awaken your senses, and reclaim your pleasure under the guidance of renowned sexuality educator and intimacy coach Reba Corrine Thomas from TLC's "90 Day Fiancé: The Last Resort."

Nestled amidst the whispering pines and rolling hills of Nathalie, VA, choose your adventure: embrace the rustic charm of fully equipped glamping or the cozy comfort of The Bradley House, our onsite haven. Both options feature delicious, farm-fresh meals (continental breakfast, lunch, and dinner) bursting with flavor and local love.

But the true transformation unfolds beyond the walls. Guided by Reba and her team's expertise in the whispers of nature, you'll:

  • Rediscover pleasure with forest bathing & sensual earthing sessions: Shed societal expectations and reconnect with your primal self. Feel the cool grass beneath your toes, breathe deeply in the ancient embrace of the forest, and let the earth's energy flow through you.

  • Get your hands dirty at our CBD hemp farm: Immerse yourself in the sustainable practice of growing this versatile plant, explore its potential for pleasure and wellness, and learn how it can enhance your connection to yourself and the natural world.

  • Savor farm-to-table culinary artistry with a twist: Indulge in delectable, locally sourced meals designed to tantalize your palate and ignite your senses. Our signature "Dark & Dirty Dinner" will leave you feeling satiated and connected to the raw elements of pleasure and desire.

  • Immerse yourself in the celestial tapestry: Bathe in the soft glow of the moon and the star-studded universe. Lie beneath the open sky, feeling both your smallness and profound connection to the cosmos. Guided by the moon's gentle light, explore the magic of the forest at night, embracing vulnerability and sensuality under the cloak of darkness (clothing optional).

  • Unleash your true nature through guided meditations, multi-sensory experiences, and moments of quiet reflection. Explore your desires, shed fear and judgment, and rediscover the wild, pleasure-seeking being within.
