Mountain Matters • Making Mountain Connections • |
|
|
The Mountain is in full bloom, the garden lush, the mountain top alive with sounds of MountainCamp and children's laughter. Afternoon rains refresh spirts and cool the winds. Clouds gather in valleys and the native rhododendron are preparing to burst forth in their wild and sprawling glory. Is it time to create the space to birth something dear to you, to gather your thoughts, refresh and tend to your inner voice? Come to be; know the healing spirit of the Blue Ridge Mountains and give back. Let us help you plan for a rewarding and regenerative gift to yourself. Consider a Personal Retreat. Or we can help you with the tools and space to plan a retreat of your own creation. Upcoming we have opportunities for you to connect with your inner child, explorer, artist, and musician. States and beings that we all are inherently. Come play at The Mountain and see what moves you. |

You can venture in lightly, explore something new, or dig in deeper and hone your craft.
