The Space
Our soaring mountain retreat represents the perfect balance of grounding energy and expansive spirit. Of the masculine and the feminine, of the yin and the yang. (Kind of like us.)
Our main gathering space sits under a timber frame cathedral ceiling, with a roaring fire, original, stone work, and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the mountainside. There’s fresh water, a huge selection of herbal teas, and a full bathroom.
This room (we call it the “cathedral room”) is wonderful for teaching as well as connecting to the elements while in circle. The upstairs master suite can be used for facilitator lodging (max overnight occupancy of 2 guests), office space, apprentice meetings, or private coaching sessions for your participants. The suite includes a separate entrance as well as a private side yard and porch.
We also have a finished basement where the incredible rock work continues from floor to ceiling. It has an open gas fireplace, an art room, and a larger carpeted room ideal for process work, private workshops, and/or ceremonial space for up to 16 participants.
There are two hammocks outside under the shade of mature trees and an outside fireplace for you and your guests to use.
Continuing education classes can hold up to 10 bodywork tables, allowing for classes of up to 20 students. Depending on the needs of your workshop and the space you’ll need to occupy, the workshop space in the basement could also be used as guest lodging for folks who want to stay onsite and bring cots, sleeping pads, or air mattresses.
Blossom & Be Wellness Retreat is located about 5 minutes from downtown Black Mountain, so it’s easily accessible for groceries, supplies, shopping, restaurants, and numerous outdoor hiking trails, lakes, and waterfalls.
