The Octagon At Harriet Tubman Trail

Nestled in the lush nature reserve region of Sassafras and surrounded by groves of flowering mountain laurels, wild orange azaleas and roaring streams, IBIS is an idyllic place for relaxation, workshops and retreats. Located next to Harriet Tubman Trail and only a five minute walk to Lake Nia, IBIS offers weekend retreats for those who are seeking a renewal of health– physical, spiritual, mental and emotional.

An octagon with a wrap a round deck, IBIS has a design that is open, flows and functional. The main level features a central sunken conversation pit with fireplace, a large great room, kitchen, three bedrooms and two baths. The daylight lower level, when completed in September, will have four bedrooms, two baths, a kitchenette and a living room.

IBIS is designed to host retreats for small groups of up to thirty-five people, however, other homes and facilities can be utilized to accommodate groups of up to ninety people. With our warm, bed and breakfast atmosphere and reasonable rental rates, IBIS is also the perfect place for family, couples or individual escapes!

RELAX!

IBIS Retreat was built by Dr. Aisha Gilliam and Developer Shaka Kusaidi in 2003.  “The past three years, IBIS has sponsored SISTAS RETREATS where we discussed health issues, networked, relaxed, were pampered with massages and had uplifting experiences,” comments Aisha.  Coordinators and presenters for the 2007-2008 SISTAS RETREATS include Dr. Aisha Gilliam, Dr. Dawn Arno, Former GA State Representative and Attorney Henrietta Turnquest, Zene Berhanu, and Dr Naimah Lewis.
