About This Retreat

The idea for this event came when the founder of The Resting Wolf found herself exhausted, overstimulated, and even resentful of the people she loved most following specific, predictable seasons - such as after holidays or right as the kids went back to school. During the pressure cooker moments, sleep is often scarce and nervous systems are in constant fight or flight mode, turning us into people we don't even recognize. And we know we aren't alone. 80% women carry the mental and emotional load for their families. 67% of those responsible for caretaking of elderly relatives are women. Women spend approximately 50% more time on caregiving tasks. Women are expected to play the role of selfless mothers and loyal daughters, without ever being given the tools to replenish what we are constantly depleting. The Restore retreat was created to provide an immediate nervous system intervention and space to rest deeply, while also providing women practical advice and resources to avoid burnout in the future.

‍

What to Expect

In December, a virtual community will be created to connect retreat-goers with facilitators and each other, and to start to lay the ground work for the restoration we will focus on during the event. Expect "holiday survival" tips and encouragement, meditations, and more to help you navigate this busy season.
Day 1: Opening circle and set intentions. You Are More Than what You Do for Others - group identity discussion. Delicious farm-to-table dinner, followed by our nightly campfire. Deeply relaxing sound bath and a sleepy tea or mocktail.

Day 3: Morning yoga or guided winter forest walk followed by breakfast at the lodge. Closing group circle to discuss individual health prioritization strategies and personal commitment cards.
Following the event: Virtual community will have the option to continue and will be added to the broader Founders Circle community, which will offer both virtual and Nashville-based events in the future.
What you take with you: Nine to Kind Possibilities Planner. Knowledge on recognizing burnout vs stress. At home tactics, including self-administered Reiki, EFT Tapping, reflexology, and breath work. Personal commitment card. A newfound community of women in the same stage of life.

Your Turn To Receive

Your feet hit the floor, and the day begins before you have had a moment to breathe.

You spend your days giving, carrying, nurturing, and showing up for everyone else. Somewhere along the way, you may have forgotten what it feels like to simply receive. If this sounds familiar, there is a place for you at White Lilies Journey, a restorative women's wellness retreat in Tennessee created for women who are ready to slow down, reconnect, and be cared for, too.

As a woman, you lead, nurture, and pour yourself into the world. With so many expectations and demands competing for your attention, it can become difficult to tune into you: your body, your inner voice, your joy, and the parts of your life that are quietly asking to be renewed. A timeless symbol of renewal and grace, the delicate white lily carries a gentle reminder: after seasons of giving everything to everyone else, it is finally your turn to bloom.

Over This Restorative Weekend, You Are Invited To:

Rest deeply, entirely free of guilt.
Reconnect with nature's quiet wisdom and return home with new insight and a renewed sense of self.
Nourish your mind, body, and spirit through delicious meals, restorative yoga, reflection, and community.
Celebrate the magic of womanhood within a soft, supportive sisterhood.
Trade notifications, expectations, and constant motion for birdsong, creativity, and room to breathe.

The Invitation

White Lilies is your whimsical escape back to yourself. Hidden among the whispering trees and butterfly meadows of Bask, this intimate women's nature retreat asks a simple question: What has been waiting within you, just longing for your attention?

Remember Your Magic

This is not about changing who you are. It is about remembering who you have always been.

Together, we will share slow mornings, sudden laughter, nourishing food, quiet reflection, and the gentle alchemy that happens when women gather with open hearts. Whether you are navigating a transition, craving clarity, feeling burned out, or simply longing to feel more like yourself again, White Lilies Journey offers a safe place to land.

The retreat will balance guided experiences with spacious personal time. You will be invited to participate at your own pace, listen to your body, and choose what feels supportive. No previous retreat, yoga, or meditation experience is required.

This Retreat Is For Women Who:

Are ready to trade notifications for birdsong and make space for fresh creative energy.
Miss the version of themselves that felt light, playful, and fully alive.
Are ready to exhale the overwhelm and release the feeling of never being enough.
Believe that slowing down does not mean falling behind.
Are moving through a personal, professional, or relational transition.
Long for deeper connection with themselves, the natural world, and other women.
Want to attend alone, with a friend, or with someone they love.

Can I Attend Alone?

Yes. Many women attend retreats on their own. White Lilies is intentionally limited to a small group so solo guests can feel welcomed and naturally connect, while still having room for solitude, rest, and personal reflection.

Led by Aylin Ozgener

For the first time, Bask Retreat Center's visionary and founder Aylin Ozgener will personally guide this special retreat. Aylin has spent years creating spaces where others can experience the restorative power of nature. After feeling a deep calling to lead one retreat each year herself, she chose White Lilies as the retreat she knew she was meant to offer. Her intention is simple: to create a heartfelt experience where every woman feels seen, supported, and reminded of her own innate beauty and strength.

"I am listening to my inner wisdom and the integrated energies of life to lead White Lilies. This is an 'invitation' and an 'initiation' for women seeking their purpose. This will empower you for your highest calling."
