Join us on beautiful Bald Head Island, NC for an unforgettable in-person experience. Dive into a weekend filled with good vibes, wellness activities, and connecting with awesome people. Whether you're into yoga, Pilates, fitness, or just looking to relax and recharge, this festival is your go-to spot for mind, body, and soul rejuvenation. Come flow with us and feel the good energy all around!

From May 1–3, 2026, Bald Head Island becomes home to a multi-day gathering devoted to movement, mindfulness, restoration, and meaningful connection — featuring beloved local practitioners alongside inspiring voices from across the region.

Ebb & Flow was created to celebrate what this island has always done best: invite people to arrive fully, breathe deeply, and leave feeling changed. As we mark our tenth year of ownership at Island Retreat, we wanted to honor the community that has grown here — while opening the doors to new collaborations and shared experiences beyond our shores.

Over three intentional days, guests will flow between ocean-air yoga sessions, guided meditation, immersive workshops, thought-provoking conversations, spa-inspired rituals, and moments of simple joy in between.

It’s not a conference.

It’s a reset.

The Burgwin-Wright House is excited to celebrate our 100th art show in our gallery by welcoming back local artist, Janet Sessoms, for her show "Colorful Reflections.”

The Opening reception, in conjunction with Fourth Friday Gallery Nights, is on Friday, March 27 from 6-9PM.

Sessoms artworks will be on display and for sale in our art gallery through June 20th. Admission is free. The gallery is open Monday-Saturday 10am-4pm.

About the Artist
Janet B. Sessoms, who works primarily in oils, describes her style as painterly realism. Her paintings reflect her fascination with the effects of light on the environment and inanimate objects, as well as her fondness for the landscapes of the southeast. Sessoms wanted to be an artist since the age of eight. An art educator for 22 years, Sessoms retired fourteen years ago and has been realizing her dream ever since. A self-described, life-long learner, she enjoys taking workshops by nationally renowned artists. Sessoms maintains a studio at ArtworksTM and is an active member of the Wilmington Art Association, the Art League of Leland, and Oil Painters of America.

Absolutely zero regard for safety protocols!
