🍂✨ Fall Equinox Retreat 2026: Year 3 at Rooted Acres ✨🍂 September 18–20, 2026
Join us for our third annual Fall Equinox Retreat at Rooted Acres Farm, a magical weekend of yoga, connection, nature, and renewal. Nestled beside the beauty of Belleplain State Forest in South Jersey, this adults-only glamping experience invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and welcome the changing season with intention.
