A Coastal Gathering for  Mind, Body & Soul

MAY 1-3, 2026

BALD HEAD ISLAND, NC

Ebb & Flow Wellness Festival is a three-day invitation to slow down, tune in, and reconnect—with yourself, with others, and with the natural rhythm of the coast.


Designed as both a drop-in experience and a full weekend retreat, Ebb & Flow offers space to move, learn, restore, and simply be—whether you join us for a single day or immerse yourself for the entire weekend.


Across three thoughtfully curated days, Ebb & Flow will feature multiple experiences daily, allowing you to design your own rhythm. Expect a blend of movement, education, and restoration.

Yoga, Barre, Pilates & Strength Training
From grounding flows to energizing workouts, accessible for all levels.


Breathwork, Meditation & Mindfulness
Practices that calm the nervous system and reconnect you inward.


Functional Wellness Treatments

From massages to reiki, acupuncture, sound healing, chiropractic care and guided breath work, our Treatment Zone will be the spa-inspired rest you need between classes.
