in the North Georgia Mountains
It’s elemental. It’s tribal.
A feast for the senses.
A tune-up for your soul.
We need wonder. We crave magic.
We are hungry for beautiful, shared experience. Our souls need a vacation.
This is it.
This is the lovingly crafted, soul-satisfying, artfully curated rite of passage you didn’t know you needed:
Where soulful women go to rejuvenate their magic.
There are junctures in every woman’s life when she knows it’s time to shed some things she’s outgrown.
She’s called to take up some new space in her life.
The direction isn’t always clear, though. It can be hard to know the names of our dreams and yearnings. Sometimes we lose track of our own magic — and may even wonder whether it’s too late to kindle any new fires.
Answer: IT IS NOT TOO LATE. YOU ARE RIGHT ON TIME, SISTAH.
What’s needed is some quality time recharging those soular batteries in the company of kindred spirits.
WHAT HAPPENS AT CAMP MOXIE?
We’re going to nurture and restore your soul.
Woo your muse. Delight your senses. Stir your imagination.
Get you back in your sweet mojo groove with an open heart.
And make some of the best memories ever.
“Camp Moxie has been a truly transformative & exquisite experience.”
BETH GALASKA, clinical research scientist
You’ll go home a new woman.
“Sometimes everything has to be inscribed across the heavens so you can find the one line written inside you.”
- poet David Whyte
At Camp Moxie you’ll reconnect with the sacred part of yourself.
Expect new sparks of inspiration stirring within your heart. That’s what happens when we tap into our inner guidance and wisdom, and our souls have been heard and deeply satisfied.
Our hearts crack wide open.
We become more open to the invitation of life.
And it all happens in the company of kindred spirits — your tribe. Women with moxie committed to stoking their fire and rising together.

YOUR ACCOMMODATIONS, DESIGNED TO DELIGHT
where the magic happens
Our home away from home will be a rustic luxe lodge in the North Georgia Mountains, about 2 hours north of Atlanta — the lodge, the bunkhouse where team members will stay, and the grounds are all ours.
The 5-day, 4-night experience will take place November 14-18, 2024.
That time of year typically brings sweater/shawl weather perfect for coffee on the porch, long walks and talks, magical starlit gatherings, and evening conversation and wine by the fire.
Peaceful vibe
Our unique venue was chosen because of the soul-soothing, elemental energy that permeates the lodge and vast valley and woods around it.
Cozy quarters
Imagine waking up in your sumptuous bedroom to the sounds of soft music and breakfast being prepared for you. Feels like heaven.
Beauty everywhere
Beauty itself is known to have healing powers, and Camp Moxie is curated with that in mind. Prepare to fall in love with your experience.
Thoughtful amenities
Ensuite bathrooms for all. Coffee machine in your room. A gym. Your very own stargazing blanket. Palo santo. It’s the little things….
Forest bathing
Wild hearts need time in nature to reconnect with what is most true. We have extensive hiking trails on the property to explore.
Magical spots
The lodge and grounds provide lots of inviting nooks and sitting areas to chat, read, dream, rest and create — for gathering and quiet solo time.
Did we mention the private chef preparing divine meals?
And yes, wine will be served with dinner.
I’m in!
DEB BEROSET
Your retreat leader
I’m your very own Creative Muse — a coach, mentor and spreader of creative magic, courage, confidence, and love.
Speaking of love, at the top of my list is curating beautiful experiences that delight our senses, inspire our spirits, and bring out our best.
I’m honored to be a listener for inner knowing, a teacher for students of the soul, and a trusted guide for those ready to step into a beautiful new chapter.
HIGH-RANKING PASSIONS: Creativity. Aesthetic shamanism. The essential nature of beauty. Conscious community. Wonder. Love. Soulful self-expression. The alchemy and joy of collective effervescence.

Now a Certified Guide with the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy, Robin will lead us on a Shinrin-Yoku (Forest Bathing) walk at the breathtaking Tumbling Waters Nature Trail.

The result? The perfect bridge between the retreat and the rest of your life: Each camper will go home with a professionally edited recording of her very own custom affirmations read in her own voice and set to music.

This retreat is TOTALLY for you if…
You’ve been yearning for some sacred time to focus on yourself and your life.
Spending time under the stars and around the fire with kindred spirit women sounds like a dream.
The idea of staying in a beautiful setting with all the meals and details lovingly looked after makes you want to cry.
You’re a free spirit with a creative streak that longs for more room to roam.
Your batteries are low and could use a soul tune-up.
You know in your heart this has your name all over it.
You’re ready to give this gift to your future self, who will thank you.
This retreat is NOT for you if…
The idea of doing some deep soul work in a rustic luxe environment doesn’t sound amazing.
You’re not willing to be open, playful, seen, relaxed, taken care of and maybe a little vulnerable.
You feel your family, job, business, pets and/or plants won’t survive without you for 5 days.
You don’t believe you deserve a magical experience.
You have to know exactly what is happening and when.
Hitting the pause button and going deep scares you, and you’re not willing to confront that.
You’re stuck and not truly committed to getting unstuck.
Trying new things is a no go.
You prefer to experience things alone.
Camp Moxie 2024 has spots for up to 10 campers max.
Rooms will be reserved on a first-come, first-served basis.
Camp Moxie 2024 is now officially sold out — put your name on the waitlist to get first dibs on any opening at this or the next Moxie retreat.

FAQs
-
We’ll have women coming to Georgia from all over the country. Transportation is NOT included. It is up to you to get to Camp Moxie.
If you live within driving distance, you can drive there directly. If you are flying, we suggest Hartsfield Jackson International Airport (ATL) in Atlanta, and then driving north from there. It’s about a 2-hour drive from the airport to Camp Moxie.
For liability reasons, Camp Moxie can’t arrange ride sharing among the campers.
-
In the North Georgia Mountains, about an hour north of ATL and about 2 hours north of the airport. After registration you will receive an email with all the details you need to best prepare for your retreat experience, including the exact address.
-
Camp Moxie is November 16th-20th. North Georgia days in November average high temperatures in the 60’s, and overnight lows in the 40’s. Snow and winter-weather events are rare in mid-November. On average, it rains 8 days during the 30 days of November.
Weather can be a bit unpredictable in the mountains, and as your elevation changes, so does the temperature. To plan for maximum comfort, plan on layering. T-shirts and rain jackets are all-year gear in North Georgia. Be prepared for a variation as you’ll want to enjoy the outdoors.
The elevation is 1,391 ft at Camp Moxie. (Almost lofty by an East-of-the-Mississippi standard.)
-
We’ve got you covered! Deb will send out a suggested packing list 6-8 weeks prior to the retreat.
-
This is, first and foremost, YOUR experience. While we have designed the various elements of it to create a transformative flow, if you’re ever feeling tired or want some alone time, we trust you to know what’s right for you. Our plan includes free time for you every afternoon.
-
Mild to moderate.
-
Why yes, we’re so glad you asked! The Leonid meteor shower will be active at that time, producing its peak rate of meteors at the exact time of our gathering, on November 18.
Yes, Deb, I’m in!
