Our Story
A place the land chose long before we arrived.
The story of The Moon & The Magician — the land, the host, and the vision that called it all into being.
The Land
She has been here longer than any of us
Tucked into the folds of the North Georgia mountains, this land has been a place of power for thousands of years. The Cherokee knew it. The deer know it. The fog that rolls through the ridgeline at dawn knows it.
When we first walked this property, we didn't choose it. It chose us. There is a quality of stillness here that is not manufactured — it is ancient, earned, and freely given to anyone willing to slow down enough to receive it.
The Appalachian mountains are among the oldest on earth. To stand in them is to stand in deep time. That is the ground beneath everything we offer here.
The Host
Delphine Lee
Founder & Lead Facilitator
Delphine Lee grew up in the Appalachian mountains — and like many of us, had to leave before she could truly come home. She spent twenty years building a life in Atlanta, moving through careers in law, real estate, and the arts, before one of life's most tender passages, her divorce, sent her back to the mountains. She found this land in Dillard, Georgia, and knew immediately it was asking something of her.
Her path has never moved in a straight line — and that is exactly the point. She graduated with a BFA in Fine Arts with a focus in fashion design, later earning her interior design certification, and went on to build a life that wove together law, real estate, dance, plant medicine, and tarot. She has led women's circles through the Wild Woman Project and held space for seekers across many traditions. Each thread, however different on the surface, has been in service of the same thing: helping people — and herself — find their way back to what is true.
What began as a personal homecoming has slowly become something larger: an art farm, a consciousness collective, a healing retreat, and a place where strangers arrive as guests and leave as something closer to themselves. Delphine is still in the work of converting this land into the sanctuary it is becoming — and she believes that is part of the medicine.
She lives on the property with her two sons and three cats, tending her garden, her community, and the land that called her home.
Training & Credentials
The Vision
A sanctuary, not a brand
The Moon & The Magician exists to be a living example of what becomes possible when land, community, and ceremony are held together with care. We are not trying to scale. We are trying to deepen.
Every offering here — the yoga classes, the retreats, the cabin stays, the plant medicine clinics — is designed to serve one purpose: to help people remember who they are beneath the noise of the world.
We believe that healing is not a product. It is a relationship — with the land, with your body, with the people who witness you. That is what we are building here, one gathering at a time.
What we stand for
Smallness
We keep groups intimate by design. You will be seen here.
Reciprocity
We tend the land that tends us. Every offering includes an act of care for the property.
Sovereignty
We do not tell you what to believe. We create conditions for you to remember what you already know.
Slowness
There is no rushing here. The mountain sets the pace.
Lineage
We honor the teachers, traditions, and land that made this work possible.
Accessibility
Sliding scale pricing and payment plans are available for all retreats. No one is turned away for financial reasons.
An Opportunity
This property and business are for sale
The Moon & The Magician is a fully operational sacred retreat center — three cabins, an established Airbnb presence, a growing wellness brand, and a community already gathering. This is a rare opportunity to step into something already alive and thriving.
