About this Retreat
Your Guides
Kelly Loya is the founder of Elevate Retreat at Sky Island Lodge, a structured self guided retreat experience created for high performers seeking clarity, discipline, and reconnection in a world built around constant distraction.
After years of balancing leadership, business, family responsibilities, and relentless output, Kelly recognized how easy it is for capable people to slowly lose alignment with themselves while still appearing successful on the outside. Elevate Retreat was built from that realization.
Her work combines structured reflection, intentional solitude, mindset development, movement, nervous system reset practices, and nature immersion to help guests reconnect with their standards, habits, and internal clarity.
Rather than teaching motivation or surface level self help, Kelly focuses on creating environments and experiences that challenge people to slow down, think honestly, eliminate distraction, and rebuild how they operate in everyday life.
Set deep in the North Georgia mountains, Elevate Retreat was intentionally designed as a space for personal reset, mental clarity, and lasting internal change.
Details of this retreat
Elevate Retreat is a structured Four night, five day self guided experience designed for high performers, entrepreneurs, leaders, creatives, and individuals seeking clarity, discipline, and reconnection away from constant noise and distraction.
Set deep in the mountains of Ellijay, Georgia on secluded Big Buck Mountain, this retreat combines intentional solitude, digital detox, mindset work, movement, reflection, nature immersion, and structured personal development exercises to help guests reset mentally and emotionally.
This is not a traditional wellness retreat or spa getaway. It is a focused environment designed to challenge complacency, eliminate distraction, and help participants reconnect with the standards, habits, and mindset required to operate at a higher level in everyday life.
Guests move through a carefully designed workbook and guided journal experience that includes daily challenges, deep reflection exercises, silence practices, mountain hikes, reading and podcast integrations, fire rituals, and intentional routines built around clarity and discipline.
The retreat is fully self guided, allowing guests to move through the experience privately and at their own pace while still following a structured framework designed for lasting transformation.
Guests will stay at Sky Island Lodge, a private mountain cabin featuring 3 bedrooms, a full kitchen, outdoor fire areas, reflection spaces, and immersive natural surroundings intentionally chosen to support solitude, stillness, and personal reset.
