OUR MISSION

Free Spirited Wanderer Retreats have been created to provide a life-changing experience based on two main concepts:

 

1) To build Kula; intentional community, the feeling that life is best when shared.

​

2) The human desire to live a truly meaningful & fulfilling life.

 

Each retreat brings these two concepts alive as we travel to exceptional locations around the world and move through a variety of yoga classes, workshops, excursions, and community building; providing you with the self-exploration, adventure, connection and freedom your heart & soul seeks.  

 

**CEU's available for yoga teachers on all retreats. 

A NOTE FROM CAROLE

Founder of Free Spirited Wanderer;
Yoga & Wellness Retreats

I am so happy you're here; it is my honor to welcome you into our FSW Retreat community. I have been a student of yoga for 14 years and teaching for 10 years. I have trained in Nepal, India, Colorado, North Carolina, and virtually. I started leading Yoga & Wellness Retreats in 2017 (when Free Spirited Wanderer was born) to share my love of travel, culture, community, wellness and yoga with others. As of February 2025, I have had the privilege of leading 26 retreats; 12 within the U.S and 14 international, which has hosted 350+ participants.

 

My mission as a yoga teacher is to help more people take yoga off the mat and live it as it was intended, a lifestyle. My prayer for you is that these retreats help prepare you for your lifetime; providing you with a space to become the fullest expression of yourself so you can walk with purpose and live with love.

GARRETT F., NORTH CAROLINA

"Carole and I met in January 2022, and the level of knowledge, passion, and kindness she brings to the world of yoga is astounding. Trusting her beautiful soul to lead me on my first yoga retreat was a no brainer for me! Carole knows how to deliver, and I cannot wait to take my next journey with her! So, what are you waiting for? Take that leap, and join her NOW!"
