Rest & Retreat
with Jess Kennett & Casey Newman
Oak Island, North Carolina
September 11-14, 2025
Join Jess and Casey for 4 days & 3 nights of rest and renewal on the North Carolina coast
After feeling the effects of a long winter, we both knew we wanted to offer something this year that would feel like a sigh of relief. Rest & Retreat was curated for women with the intention of creating space for you to connect more deeply with yourself while also gathering together in community.
Honoring the seasons and what they bring is so important, even and especially when that means slowing down. As summer comes to a close and we enter into fall, we're asked to pause, take a deep breath, and create space for ourselves to rest. Fall is the bridge between the heightened energy of summer and the cocoon-like vibes of winter, so during this season of transition, can we give ourselves space and permission to simply be?
Our hope is that you return home feeling rested, nourished from the inside out, and deeply connected to who you are at your core.
What you'll receive with your investment:
3-night stay in a stunning oceanfront home on the peaceful shores of Oak Island, NC--wake up to the sound of waves and drift to sleep under starry skies.
Three nourishing, seasonal meals each day, prepared with love by our private chef, Kate Clark--beginning with Thursday dinner and ending with Sunday breakfast.
Daily yoga practices, guided meditation, and breath work designed to ground your body, calm you mind, and awaken your inner wisdom.
Evening cacao ceremony under the stars--a sacred, heart-opening ritual on the beach to reconnect you with your intuition and the rhythms of nature.
Transformative workshops with Jess and Casey, created to help you soften, explore, and deepen into rest and feminine embodiment.
Unlimited time for ocean healing--walks on the sand, saltwater dips, and soulful stillness at the edge of the sea.
Skincare + Self-Love Workshop with holistic esthetician Steph Washburn, where you'll learn to honor your skin as a sacred practice and receive natural self-care tips and rituals.
Guided tour of the historic Oak Island Lighthouse, an optional outing where you'll be invited to rise above the shoreline and witness the vast, wild beauty of the coast.
Thoughtful, curated gifts just for you--including a beautiful retreat journal, handmade essential oil roller blend, a few surprise local goodies to support your journey.
A safe, nurturing circle of women where you're free to be seen, heard, and held exactly as you are.

Co-Facilitator
Jess Kennett
Jess is an E-RYT 500 who has been guiding yoga classes, hosting workshops, and leading teacher trainings since 2015. She discovered asana as an incredible way to heal from back pain in college and soon realized yoga is so much more than just a physical practice. She is known for weaving yoga philosophy into her classes that is accessible to the modern yogi.
When you practice with Jess, you will experience a journey of connecting deeply with yourself and those around you through fluid movement, inspiring breath work, and leave feeling empowered to live your practice off the mat.
Outside of teaching yoga, she loves swimming in the ocean, drinking cacao, and adventuring with her family. Jess lives in Wilmington with her husband, daughter, and Persian cat. She is a Sagittarius Sun, Manifestor (HD), and Enneagram 4.
Co-Facilitator
Casey Newman
Casey is a yoga teacher, workshop facilitator, teacher trainer, and retreat leader based in Wilmington, NC. She is an E-RYT500 and has been teaching yoga since 2015. She started practicing yoga consistently in 2012 while living in Scotland. At the time, she was feeling disconnected from herself and stuck in a cycle of toxic patterns. Yoga truly changed her life. After completing her first teacher training, she knew one of her life’s deepest purposes was to help guide others back to themselves.
She’s passionate about using the physical practice of yoga to help peel back the layers piled on over time, to connect us back to our core. She deeply values movement as expression and spiritual practice. She loves slow, strong, and intentional vinyasa flows. In her classes, Casey hopes to create a soft and sacred place for you to land—to give you the space to come back to the root and truth of who you are.
When she isn’t teaching, Casey loves reading, floating in the ocean, gardening, and spending time with her husband and daughter, and all of their animals.
