About the Retreat Center:
This retreat center featuring seven natural springs on 126 acres of family-owned land in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains. Near Maryville, Tennessee, Nestled deep in a hollow with trees all around it's easy to forget that we're just 20 minutes away from the Knoxville airport.

Lodging:
Where you will sleep: Yurts
Each yurt is decorated with traditional textiles and artwork from the countries that our family frequents. The yurts are fully furnished including electricity and outlets. They use 100% organic cotton sheets and towels. Each yurt has fans for the heat and extra blankets for the cool nights.
On the Property:

Standing 16 feet tall and 28 foot diameter, our yoga Shala is held by mighty cedar tree posts from the forest. Enjoy glimpses of the first light of sunrise in this open-air pavilion with a breathtaking view of the Chilhowee mountains.
Fully Equipped Kitchen:
Magic is made in this kitchen to nourish your body, mind, and spirit! Meals all included. Organic, locally grown.
Nightly Fire circle:
For nightly gathering or special ceremonies, this is a space to bring people together around the fire for music, celebration and camaraderie.
Labyrinth:
A traditional 7 course labyrinth lies nestled within a natural bowl, shaded by old growth Elm trees. This recreation of ancient sacred sites is a powerful setting for walking (or running!) meditation and prayer.
