White Lotus Bluemont · 4th Annual Country House Weekend
Every summer we pull together the people we love most, drag them out to the Virginia countryside, and build something that feels a little bit magic. Two days of long lunches, late swims, cold drinks, loud music, and the kind of conversations you only get when you're all in the same place at the same time. This year there's also a little extra reason to celebrate — you'll see.
This year's theme is the White Lotus Full Moon Party — a nod to the full moon rising on Sunday night. Saturday evening includes an optional gathering at 9:30pm; if you'd like to join, a white outfit is the dress code for that moment specifically. Wear whatever you feel great in for the rest of the weekend.
Weekend Flow
All meal times are very approximate — we'll keep you posted on the day.
Saturday · 9:30 pm
White Lotus Bluemont · Full Moon Ceremony
At 9:30pm, those who feel called
will gather under the full moon.
This is a completely optional, invitation-to-participate moment — not a mandatory event. Come curious, come open, or simply enjoy the night your own way. All the details will be in your welcome packet.
If you join: wear white 🤍
A moonlit ritual of nurture, intention, carrying forward, and release.
There is no right way to participate.
Choose what feels meaningful.

Plus Ones & Pooches
Invited plus ones and friendly pups are very welcome. The guest list is carefully curated — every person on it is there because we know the energy they bring. If there's someone you'd love to see here, have a chat with us, but please don't extend any invites independently. Keeping the vibe right is how we make sure everyone has the best possible weekend.
Good Vibes, Always
This is a space built on trust, care and genuine connection. Please look after yourself and each other — read the room, respect boundaries, and keep your energy warm and generous. Everyone here deserves to feel completely comfortable and welcome. We mean it.
BYO Packing List
Sharing is caring
We're feeding 100 people over two days — and we want the table to feel abundant without eight pasta salads. If you'd like to contribute something, claim a slot below so we know what's coming. And honestly, if you have anything you love to share for the weekend — a snack, a bottle of something, a vibe — bring it. The more the merrier.
Getting Here Together
🚗 Parking at our home is very limited, so we warmly encourage and truly appreciate carpooling. The more people you can pack in, the merrier — and the easier it is for everyone to arrive!
