Join us at the beautiful Splendor Pond Flower Farm for a full-day retreat designed to nourish your mind, body, and spirit. Just outside Charlotte, this serene setting invites you to slow down, reconnect, and realign with what matters most.
Together we’ll experience the three pillars that shape every FSW retreat:
-
Yoga: Rejuvenate with a 75-minute vinyasa practice, blending movement, breathwork, and meditation
-
Community: Connect through intentional community (Kula) with introductions, icebreakers, and real conversation
-
Lifestyle: Engage in a Q&A session exploring practical ways to embody yoga in daily life—off the mat and in the moments that matter most.
You’ll also enjoy a nourishing local meal, time to shop some local vendors, space to explore the peaceful property, and exciting giveaways from some incredible small businesses. Bring your friends, family, or come solo and meet new faces — this is a day you won’t want to miss.
We can’t wait to welcome you for a day of practice, connection, and perspective that stays with you long after you leave.

WHAT'S INCLUDED:
-
A signature FSW Yoga Class (60-minute Vinyasa with breathwork + meditation)
-
Dharma Talk with Q&A: Explore yoga philosophy and how to apply it to daily life
-
Nourishing brunch featuring a variety of local favorites

A NOTE FROM CAROLE
I’m so happy you’re here. It’s an honor to welcome you into the Free Spirited Wanderer retreat community.
I’ve been a student of yoga for 14 years and have taught for the last 10. My studies have taken me from Nepal and India to Colorado, North Carolina, and beyond—and in 2017, I founded Free Spirited Wanderer to share my love of yoga, travel, culture, and community. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of leading 30 retreats (14 in the U.S. and 16 internationally) for more than 350 participants.
While most of our retreats span several days, this Immersion Day Retreat offers the same depth, intention, and heart in a single transformative day. My mission is to help more people take yoga beyond the mat—living it as a lifestyle grounded in awareness, purpose, and love.
My hope is that this experience helps you reconnect with yourself and feel the power of true community—one built on presence, support, and shared growth.
