Beyond Brain and Body expanded into Beyond Stays and Retreats - a wellness retreat center nestled in the Appalachian Mountains of Ball Ground, Georgia. It is both a place to stay and a place to gather, designed to support rest, healing, connection, and meaningful time away from the demands of everyday life.

​

This space is an extension of Beyond Brain and Body, with portions of the wellness practice operating directly from this location. It allows for deeper, more immersive experiences through retreats, workshops, group offerings, and individual sessions, while also functioning as a short-term rental for those seeking a restorative getaway in the mountains.

 

Whether you are arriving for a personal stay, hosting or attending a retreat, gathering with friends or family, or offering your own services as a practitioner, the space is designed to meet you with ease and intention.

​

The Space

​

Beyond Stays and Retreats was created to feel like a sanctuary rather than a venue. The home offers a calm, grounded environment where the nervous system can soften and the body can rest. Thoughtfully designed gathering areas, cozy sleeping accommodations, and wellness-focused amenities allow guests to move easily between connection, solitude, and restoration.

​

The surrounding Appalachian landscape is part of the experience. Mountain views, quiet mornings, and slower rhythms invite presence and reflection, supporting both deep rest and meaningful work.

Guests may use the space simply to get away, to reset, to work remotely, or to gather with intention. Practitioners may also rent the space to host retreats, workshops, trainings, or private group experiences.

​

A Retreat Where Wellness Comes to You

​

One of the unique aspects of Beyond Stays and Retreats is access to a growing wellness collective. We collaborate with a diverse group of trusted wellness practitioners offering a wide range of services. These may include therapeutic yoga, meditation, breathwork, Reiki and energy work, bodywork, coaching, nervous system support, and other holistic wellness modalities.

​

For guests staying at the retreat center, this means services can come to you. Instead of coordinating appointments across multiple locations, you can remain grounded in the space while receiving care. Whether you are on a personal retreat, attending a gathering, or hosting an event, wellness services can be integrated seamlessly into your stay.

 

This model makes retreat planning and personal restoration simpler, more accessible, and more nourishing. You arrive, settle in, and allow the experience to unfold.

​

Retreats, Gatherings, and Practitioner Use

​

Beyond Stays and Retreats supports a wide range of experiences, including personal stays, wellness retreats, professional trainings, workshops, corporate offsites, creative gatherings, and intimate group events. Some guests come to rest. Others come to learn, facilitate, or lead. All are welcomed into a space designed to support presence and ease.

 

Practitioners are invited to rent the space to host their own offerings, benefiting from a retreat-ready environment and access to wellness-focused amenities. This allows practitioners to focus on their work without the burden of sourcing and managing multiple logistics.

​

A Growing Wellness Collective

​

Beyond Stays and Retreats is also home to a growing collective of wellness practitioners. This collaborative model allows practitioners to share space, offer services, and support one another while expanding access to holistic care for clients and guests.

​

If you are a wellness practitioner interested in becoming part of this collective, offering services at the retreat center, or collaborating on retreats, workshops, or events, we welcome you to reach out and apply. This is a living, evolving community rooted in integrity, collaboration, and care.

​

Beyond Stays and Retreats is more than a place to book. It is a space to arrive, to exhale, and to experience wellness in a way that feels grounded, supported, and whole. Whether you are here to rest, gather, or offer your work to others, the intention remains the same: to create an environment where healing, connection, and presence can naturally unfold.
