What Makes a Great Wellness Retreat?

Four serene lakes perfect for lakeside meditation or journaling

2. Cozy, Comfortable Accommodations

Unlike impersonal resorts, Solomon Retreat feels like a home. The 7,000 sq. ft. house includes:

Private bedrooms and clean bathrooms
Multiple living rooms for quiet time or group discussions
A sunroom flooded with natural light—ideal for morning routines, tea, or journaling
A full kitchen to prepare nourishing meals (or we can help arrange catering)

The warm interior design and peaceful ambiance help you settle into a slower rhythm and support your wellness journey.

3. Total Privacy & Flexibility

Whether you’re booking for yourself or hosting a small retreat:

You’ll have exclusive use of the space
You can structure your days however you want—there’s no imposed schedule
There are no crowds, traffic, or noise – just the freedom to rest, reflect, and reset

You can meditate in silence, build a custom yoga flow, walk barefoot in the grass, or simply lie on a hammock and watch the trees dance. This is your space.

4. Ideal for Small Wellness Groups

Solomon Retreat is also ideal for wellness professionals looking to host:

Yoga or pilates retreats
Breathwork workshops
Nutrition & holistic health sessions
Mindfulness or journaling intensives

Bring your own group or co-lead with a partner. There’s space to circle up on the lawn, hold sessions indoors, and share group meals without needing a big conference center.

Why People Choose Solomon Retreat Over Resorts

Solomon isn’t about luxury; it’s about authentic peace. Here’s why it resonates:

Local & Accessible: No flights or pricey hotel bills. Just a short drive from Memphis, Collierville, Germantown, or North Mississippi.
Budget Friendly: Pay one rate for the whole space—bring friends and split costs.
No Overwhelm: You’re not just another guest at a giant resort. Here, you’re in control of the experience.
Mission-Driven: The space was built with a heart for healing, stillness, and reconnection. It’s a retreat with a soul.

What a Restorative Day Might Look Like

Morning: Begin your day with a lakeside meditation as the sun rises. Move inside for journaling and tea in the sunroom. Fix a nourishing breakfast and take a solo nature walk.

Afternoon: Hold a wellness session with your group or take a mid-day nap. Read in a rocking chair, stretch in the yard, or do breathwork in the chapel.

Evening: Enjoy a campfire, stargazing, or unplug completely. Sleep deeply in your cozy bed, knowing there are no alarms and no expectations.
