Who It’s For
For anyone seeking rest, clarity, perspective, and a deeper connection with themselves and the natural world.
What To Expect
Morning yoga and meditation, time in nature, Human Design, sound healing, reflective ceremony, nourishing vegetarian meals, and plenty of space to simply be.
The Venue
The Collina House
Nestled on a private property surrounded by majestic pines, open fields, and peaceful gardens, The Collina House is a restored historic home that feels warm, comfortable, and lived in.
The setting is intentionally quiet and removed from the everyday, creating a natural environment for rest, reflection, and meaningful connection.
Private bedroom suites with en-suite bathrooms offer space to retreat and recharge throughout your stay.
THE EXPERIENCE
Human Design, Yoga & Beyond
Each retreat is designed as a layered experience, with practices that invite you out of your usual rhythm and into a slower, more intentional way of being.
Mornings begin with yoga and meditation rooted in the Ashtanga Vinyasa tradition. Throughout the retreat, you will explore Human Design, experience a restorative sound bath, participate in a Living Funeral Ceremony, spend time in nature, and share nourishing vegetarian meals.
Before arriving, each participant receives a personalized 50+ page Human Design blueprint created through Erin Claire Jones' school, giving you time to begin exploring your chart ahead of the retreat.
The atmosphere throughout the retreat is intentionally quiet. Technology is not used in common spaces, and conversation is reserved primarily for the opening and closing dinners. This creates room for reflection without requiring complete isolation.
Every offering is optional. You are encouraged to participate in the way that feels most supportive to you.
Yoga teachers are eligible to receive 15 Yoga Alliance YACEP continuing education credits.

A Word From Our Past Participants
“I recently attended a silent Yoga retreat at Collina House in Port Gibson, MS whose owner, hostess and health coach Claire also prepared our healthy meals & snacks. I've walked through many historic homes looking and not touching, but this house is actually a home. There are comfortable chairs and couches that are to be used and enjoyed. A lovely front porch, back patio with fountain, game room/library, music room and dining room are there to be lived in. It is not a museum! Many lovely and comfortable bedrooms, too.
Our retreat was five days and four nights of comfort, care and enrichment. I really didn't want to leave and am planning to return in the very near future.”
