About US
NC Retreats offers immersive experiences rooted in nature, designed to support healing, self-discovery, and meaningful transformation.
To support this journey, we offer three distinctive locations—each with its own atmosphere, energy, and unique gifts. Whether you feel called to the stillness of the countryside, the grounding beauty of farmland, or the serenity of the ocean, there is a space waiting for you.
Through thoughtfully curated programs and soulful facilitation, we nurture the body, mind, and spirit. Every retreat is an invitation to remember who you are and awaken to your fullest potential.
Our founder, Frankey Craig, a UK native turned North Carolinian, was inspired by the healing power of nature after years immersed in the serene landscapes of North Carolina. This led her to create NC Retreats, offering transformative experiences designed to restore the body, mind, and spirit away from the noise of everyday life. Guided by first-class facilitators, our retreats blend holistic practices, mindfulness, and nature-based experiences that support deep personal growth. At the heart of NC Retreats is a vibrant, supportive community where connection, healing, and lasting transformation naturally unfold.
