I spent 4 days at the Golden Present where I was particating in an Embodied Present workshop. Everything about the Retreat Center supported our practice of coming to rest in the present moment. The bedrooms and the public spaces were both comfortable and beautiful, situated in a naturally wooded environment that was quiet and peaceful. The food was delicious, nourishing and elegantly presented. Jai was our host. She was attentive, responsive, flexible, grounded and centered - a pleasure to be with and an image of a human being present!

You will very likely have a peaceful, sweet time at Golden Present. Surrounded by trees and located in a very quiet area, this lovely retreat center and its kind and grounded hostess offer balm for the soul.

Recently I spent 2 days here for a workshop and the entire time sensed I was on holy ground. The space inside and outside is gorgeous and homey at the same time. The owner, Jai, is remarkably kind and generous and the meals she prepared were delicious, wholesome, organic. I can not wait to return!

Our stay at the Golden Present far exceeded our expectations. The quietness of the Carolina woods brought immense serenity, as did our time with Jodi enjoying a private yoga nidra session in the retreat center. The home was so spacious and bright with visual reminders to rest, breathe, and enjoy life. The covered porch and hammocks out back were such a treat. We appreciated Jodi's clarity on local recommendations, along with her proactive communication and flexibility. We highly recommend.

Knowing wonderful Jodi I knew I was in for a fantastic retreat experience, but it even exceeded my expectations! Jodi provided so many different ways to promote spiritual growth and healing. The retreat environment is nurturing, beautiful, and carefully created to provide relaxation, sound healing, and outdoor movement, as well as opportunities for reflection and inner soul work. I highly recommend The Golden Present for the next step on your spiritual journey!

My stay at JodiJai's Golden Present Retreat was everything I'd hoped for and more. I stayed at the Golden Present for a 5-day virtual meditation retreat. I was looking for a place with good energy, healthy food, and peace: Jodi was welcoming--making spaces available for my 6-8 hours of meditation practice; she cooked delicious and healthy meals to accommodate my food requests/timing, and the energy of her home and land was beautiful and meditative. In addition, JodiJai led morning yoga movement and evening restorative yoga classes. I have taken yoga for decades and JodiJai knows her stuff and is an excellent teacher. She has a intuitive sense of energy and needs and met my energy beautifully. If you're looking for a place to get away from it all, for grounding, relaxation, nourishment, and/or restoration, I recommend this the Golden Present without reservation.

I stayed for 3 nights last weekend, and felt so taken care of and supported in multiple ways... the food was EXCELLENT *and* healthy, the yoga and other activities were perfect for healing, and Jodi (Jai) is really one of the most wonderful, generous persons you will ever meet. Thank you, Jodi! p.s. the house and the surrounding nature are so so so relaxing.

I loved the whole experience of the day long retreat. I thought the whole day had a very nice flow and I enjoyed every "activity" offered. The lunch was beautiful and delicious - it delighted all my senses! It was wonderful to start the day with a fresh juice. The whole experience made me feel so pampered. Finally, the closing was so nice and getting a gift was such a nice surprise and so generous!
