Feeling disconnected from yourself and God?
(but aren't sure how to restore the balance in the craziness of your right now life?)
Then join international author, speaker, and coach Niki Hardy for her intimate, 2-night WildlyKnown Retreat at her beautiful home on the shores of Lake James, in the foothills of NC.
She can't wait to gently guide you through nature-based spiritual practices, reflection, fun, and creative listening, so you can find your way back to the real you.
Return home feeling restored and with your spiritual mojo alive and kicking.
Friday, October 3rd - Sunday, Oct 5th 2025
NATURE. PRAYER. REST. RESTORATION. RECONNECTION. ENCOUNTERING. REENGAGING. LAUGHTER. SILENCE. HOME
The WildlyKnown Retreat Includes:
- All local farm-to-table meals and other refreshments.
- Guided prayer, reflection, nature invitations, and optional hikes for the adventurous.
- Help discerning what God might be saying through his creation.
- Insight into the connection between science, nature, and theology to help you feel more grounded in your day-to-day.
- Optional hikes, s'mores around the fire-pit, and mountain star-gazing under an almost-full moon.
- NOT INCLUDED: Unfortunately, Niki's house can't sleep everyone, so attendees need to organize their own accommodation either at the local Fairfield Inn Hotel or share an Airbnb nearby. Niki has stayed at the Fairfield Inn many times and it's a new, higher-end hotel in the chain.
Meet your host,
Niki Hardy
Niki is an author, speaker, coach, and fresh air junkie who's all about helping the spiritually worn out and wondering reconnect with God in nature so they can become the calm, confident person they were created to be.
Having gone all-in for God, giving up her corporate job and company car, going into ministry, and even moving her family across the pond from London to the US, she eventually found herself disappointed, disillusioned, and confused by the faith she held dear. More lost than found.
Having always felt more connected to God in nature, she set out to get herself outside to help her get outside of herself and into God's arms.
It's there she started to find her way back to who she's meant to be and regain her spiritual mojo.
Now she wants to help you do the same.
Come to the WildlyKnown Retreat
With a maximum of 20 spots available, space is limited.
This is designed to be an intimate, luxury-feel, yet wild and spiritual, retreat where one minute we're chatting over charcuterie and wine as the sun sets over the lake, and the next we're responding to God's invitation to meet him in and through his creation.
🌿 🌿 🌿
Imagine if a spa day, a contemplative nature retreat, and a girls' weekend away had a baby.
Well, that's The Wildly Known Retreat!
Is The Wildly Known Retreat for You?
YES, if:
- You're feeling worn out, disillusioned or disconnected from yourself, God, and all He's created you for.
- You know you need time away from the distractions and demands of life but want someone to help you engage with God, hear His voice, and restore your spiritual get-up and go.
- You are inspired and refreshed by beauty, nature, and stunning views, and long to know how God speaks through His creation.
- Wish someone else would make the coffee and fresh, healthy meals while you rest and chat with God.
- Want an intimate, high-end, exclusive retreat for a limited number rather than a large conference or retreat.
NO, if:
- You're a ninja at carving out time for yourself and consistently meet with God and hear his voice.
- You love a rustic, roughing-it vibe for your retreats where the more basic the venue the better.
- You naturally know how to engage with God in nature more deeply than a go-to prayer walk around the block and already practice nature-centered spiritual rhythms in your spiritual walk.
- You're only interested in large, loud conferences with famous worship bands and influencers on stage.
- The idea of returning home calmer, more confident in who you're created to be, and with the tools to help you stay connected with God as life goes on, does nothing for.
