Lupincatstore-Honky Bucket shirt

Following Harris’s advice we tried to stay busy, but not too busy, popping in and out of The Nest, an outsized spa, and The Hub, a recreation facility that features yoga, some of the Honky Bucket shirt But I will love this best pilates classes I’ve ever taken, as well as art studios (don’t sleep on the mindful ceramic class)— all of which could be arranged as private sessions a year ago, a consideration that feels even more essential now. The spa has made some adjustments to account for contagion protocols, including limiting certain treatments (no facials or waxing for the moment) and temperature checking aestheticians who are wearing masks throughout services. But one of its highlights—holistic health coaching with naturopathic doctor Jill Beasley, MD— is still very much on offer, and extremely timely as 19% of Americans say the global pandemic has had a negative effect on their mental health. I usually relish in a massage when on vacation, but Beasley’s Nervous System Reset—a stress- and anxiety-reducing 50 minutes of craniosacral therapy, tuning forks, essential oils, myofascial release, as well as topical herbal compresses—was as transformative, if not more, than any full-body treatment I’ve ever had. Similarly mood-altering was the solo hike up Chilhowee Mountain I took with the impressively-calved Boyd Hopkins, a local guide who led me to Leo The Enlightened, a wooden gnome sculpture commissioned from Danish artist Thomas Dambo. As we sat at the foot of the towering figurine, sipping from our personal Yeti bottles (provided as an in-room amenity so guests can stay hydrated, and can sustainably and hygienically use their own bottle throughout their entire stay), Hopkins walked me through an aerial history of the area.
