Welcome, dear one.
Enter into this Temple devoted to YOU…
Step out of the day-to-day and into RETREAT…
In this space, we journey into the Soul. Truly. For transformation, integration, and remembering that is experiential, tangible, and practical - while diving into divine depths and weaving threads of real-life magic. This is the 6th year of these twice-per-year retreats.
Through ceremony, soul journey, breathwork, movement, women's circle, inner alchemy, simple ritual, and BE-ing… we re-pattern our nervous systems to hold greater Joy, Bliss, Wisdom, Wholeness, Sovereignty, Harmony, and Ease.
We are all living at different points on our own unique spiral of life. This circle meets us where we are… and invites us into more of who we BE. This is a space where your own innermost Medicine leads the way… Let it rise up to meet you. Remember yourself here. Celebrate yourself here. Return to yourself here. Dance, play, laugh, cry, howl. All of you is welcome here.
“My first circle was life altering. I had such a magical, powerful experience during the breath work... one that I always had wanted to experience. Jessica holds such strong yet soft space for the group. I can’t wait to come back.”
equal parts Deep Soul Work & Retreat.
Retreat in the sense that we will nourish and tend to ourselves on a soul level… stepping out of the day-to-day and steeping ourselves in the richness, re-membering, re-vitalizing, and deep re-sourcing that comes when we allow ourselves to simply BE in sacred space. In this way, we slow down and flow with the truth of who we are.
Deep Soul Work in that every moment is an opportunity for inner alchemy. We will be in ceremony, soul journey, ritual, reflection, and revelation each day… rooting ourselves in the embodied re-membering of our truest essence. In a deeply practical and tangible sense. Healing, integration, and expansion are amplified at an exponential rate in these sacred spaces!
Immersion because we are immersing into sacred soul space ~ out of the day-to-day world ~ from the time we arrive to retreat, for our entire four days together, until we re-emerge from the threshold when we depart.
This retreat will fill and close with up to 16 women total, to ensure close-knit community and to hold a potent container.

Retreat Home
Our retreat home is the beautiful Wheel of Bliss ~ in Hot Springs, NC ~ About an hour from Asheville and 10 minutes from Max Patch… nestled in to the heart of these oldest mountains in the world. This retreat center & her land have a deep and rich history of communities gathering in sacred ceremony and honoring ancient tradition.
We have 63 acres of sacred land, rolling meadows, creeks, streams, waterfalls, lush forests, and mountain trails to ourselves. As we step in to our sacred temple space, it is just for our circle only for all 4 days!
Jessica has a special relationship with the Wheel of Bliss in holding & attending multiple alchemical retreats on this land as well as this space holding her Sacred Union Ceremony. This circle & retreat will continue to return here for communion, alchemy, and ceremony.
Welcome, dear one!!! This temple space is home.
“This past week-end was sooo powerful and transforming. The past two were incredible and beautiful, but this one was the very best yet. There was such a connection of love and beauty among everyone that shone through.”
Your Sacred Circle Holder
Hello, dear one! I am Jessica Ricchetti. I walk the path of Priestess, Mystic, Energy Alchemist, and Author. My Soul-work is rooted in supporting women who are on a journey of embodying wholeness, honoring the sacred within, and sharing their own unique magic with the world. I lead transformational experiences through an Alchemical blend of Energy Medicine, Sacred Ceremony, Soul Journey Breathwork, Women's Circles, Retreats, and Mentorship. My life and work are based in the magical mountain trees outside of Asheville NC. I play in realms of ritual each day and live life as ceremony… in deep Devotion to my path as Priestess.
These retreats are so special to my heart. Being immersed in circle and witnessing women return home to themselves, shed layers, step into wholeness, remember their own magic, connect more deeply with self and community, have heartfelt breakthroughs, and simply allowing ourselves to be in the divine perfection of what we already are… that is absolutely transformative and priceless to me. What we drop in to here, on these retreats, feels time-bending and beyond anything my imagination can craft. I invite you to join us if you are open-heartedly desiring more radiant wholeness, magic, expansion, and deep healing in your life. You know if you are meant to be with us, so if it is a yes, say YES!
“I experienced magic, witnessed miracles, felt power of sisterhood, received bliss from being held in divine love, released what no longer serves me, and received activations that I still can not comprehend.”
“Transformative, confidence building, enlightening. Jessica’s humble and inspiring and thoughtful priestessing is such a gift to us. Thank you.”
