One of the most impactful forms of self-care, in our opinion, is taking time to get away from the busy spaces in your life. This isn't to say that you need to run away, but rather take a healthy dose of separation from the busier aspects of your life and give your body time to recharge, your mind time to reflect, and your consciousness time to re-center itself.

Rediscover Peace and Purpose…

Winter invites us to pause, reflect, and recharge—making it the perfect season for a reset and retreat. If you’re looking for a retreat near Cincinnati or a weekend getaway to a retreat center in Red River Gorge Kentucky, Dappled Light is your destination! Our winter retreats provide a unique opportunity to step away from life’s busyness, embrace nature’s quiet beauty, and rekindle your sense of purpose.

Based on our personal, and guest experiences, the reality is that winter is one of the best times to get outside and camp in Red River Gorge, KY! (Especially if you’re a sweaty person, like me)

The Perfect Setting for your next leadership team retreat could be Red River Gorge. 

In today’s fast-paced business environment, finding the right balance between work, leadership development, and personal reflection is essential for sustained success. As a leader, you’re not only guiding your team toward excellence but also striving to achieve the highest levels of personal and professional growth.

Fall swept in quickly this year! With it comes changing leaves, a serene freshness to the air, and longer hikes. This is truly THE time to be in Red River Gorge Kentucky and, if you've never visited we recommend making this year your first.

“Are you trying to plan a trip to the Red River Gorge, but don’t know where to start? That’s totally reasonable, because the Gorge has SO much to offer – from panoramic ridge top views, luscious creek side hikes, beautiful waterfalls, and over 150 natural sandstone arches (and some limestone ones as well, for good measure). There is always more to explore at the Gorge…”

As we grow older, it can be easy to lose our sense of childlike wonder. We become jaded by the world and its problems, and we forget how to simply enjoy simple things.

Glamping provides all the beauty and adventure of the outdoors while offering luxurious accommodations that easily rival a hotel trip.

What did you do when you were younger that made you feel totally alive? When did you get lost in the present moment and lose track of time? Answering these simple questions could reveal your personal fountain of youth.

We love our time outside (duh, right?) and as we come into spring and summer, it’s certain that more folks are going to want to get out into the Gorge and explore! We have some amazing opportunities, both on and off-site, to take advantage of that amazing weather and get a dose of Vitamin D in RRG…

We’ve had the pleasure of running a luxury glamping business for the last two years. Something we’ve noticed is a common misconception that winter camping and glamping trips are uncomfortable, cold, and flat-out not worth the effort it takes to get outside.

Here is a list of our favorite year-round restaurants in the Red River Gorge area. Don’t worry, we also love our seasonal friends! Check back for a separate post about them.

Being alone has incredible benefits for our work, our most important relationships, and our health.

Solitude can help us regulate emotions and recalibrate our inner life.
