BLUM Retreat

Hosted by Michelle Menendez
& Loren Davidson

April 15-19, 2026

Welcome to BLUM- a multi day retreat for women by women to Breathe, Listen, Uncover, and Move together.

Join us at the 22-acre Moon Rising Retreat Center in the stunning Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina where the oak trees, the fresh air, the cleansing Yadkin River and the blooming grounds provide the ideal location for this women’s retreat. Over the course of five days, you will gain a new perspective on how you see and engage with yourself, the people you hold close, and the world around you. We have invited an incredible roster of guides to help you BLUM!

Nurture your creative intuition and rediscover your sense of wonder via the art of collage with Alina Rubio of Masterpeace.

Grandmaster Katherine Wieczerza, affectionately known as The Wiz, will show us a way to move through a martial arts/self defense practice, reimagining your sense of resiliency and strength.

Michelle Menendez & Loren Davidson, your hosts, will provide daily movement classes rooted in Pilates and somatics to reconnect to sensation.
