Mystic Retreats
Find your bearings beneath mountain skies
Astrology is the thread running through retreats at this secluded Blue Ridge estate, where guided exploration of personal charts is paired with time to reset in the mountains. The property spans 11 acres at about 3,500 feet and includes an 8,000-square-foot mountainside house, creating a spacious base for group retreats and quiet downtime. The emphasis is spiritual reflection and reconnecting with inner direction, rather than a named meditation lineage. A retreat itinerary described by the center includes 11 chef-prepared meals, with vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, and dairy-free options among the dietary choices. Guests can also make use of amenities such as a sauna, spa, and hot tub. Asheville Regional Airport pickup and drop-off are offered, which is useful for reaching this rural setting. Retreats run by donation; contact the host to confirm dates, the current schedule, and meal arrangements for your visit.
