Sacred Grove Retreat Center, in Gold Hill (only an hour from Charlotte), invites the community to gather for Soulful Sundays at the Grove, a new monthly series taking place on the second Sunday of each month from January through March that features respected local voices sharing insight, inspiration and practical tools for personal growth. The first edition on January 11 will present Secrets of Manifestation taught by Nicole Mitchell from Rise With Me, guiding participants through the core principles of conscious creation, from 1 to 2:30 p.m.; and an Aura Workshop with Diana Joy of 3rd Eye Gifts, including live aura photography and intuitive interpretation, from 3 to 4:30 p.m. 

Attendees of the events in the series will learn from local healers and practitioners about their gifts, and at the conclusion of the day, socialize while enjoying hot apple cider by the bonfire. 

For nearly two decades, owner Ellen Whiteside, lovingly known as the Goddess of the Grove, has been the guiding spirit of Sacred Grove Retreat. She has welcomed hundreds of guests into the sanctuary she’s nurtured since 2006. Her gift is simple yet powerful: making everyone who arrives feel at home, inspired and part of something truly special.

Sacred Grove Retreat Center is available for personal nightly stays as well as for retreats and gatherings.

Cost: $27 per class or $44 for both. For more information or to register for a Soulful Sunday event, visit tinyurl.com/SoulfulSundays2026, Also call or text 704-299-5124 or visit SacredGroveRetreat.com.
