What is The Mountain?

I was invited to The Mountain at first as a much needed retreat. Then I got drawn into the scene and the folks and it became a wonderful experience. Its is always a blessing to be there. I went back to volunteer and gained an opportunity to work there. It was the greatest experience ever. I know that the staff is hardworking and committed to maintaining a welcomed home for many wonderful people who come there.

High atop the Blue Ridge Mountains in the Highlands of North Carolina is a beautiful and rustic array of cabins, dining hall, labyrinth, tower and so much more! This center is perfect for a private get-a-way or group retreat.

Don’t let the awesome beauty fool you—important work is being done here. Humane leaders are developing their skills to take beyond…

The Mountain has a gorgeous location, super friendly staff, and healthy delicious food. The accommodations are simple, as befits a camp setting, but perfect if you want to convene with nature and enjoy some much needed quiet R&R. I love it and could spend the entire summer there!

For 30 years, the Mountain has given me incredible retreat experiences. I’m so grateful for its forest of ancient spirit trees and beautiful 360° views. An amazingly generous place of healing and nurturing challenge.

We love bringing our retreats to The Mountain. I think about the Mountain so often! The healing energy from the place, the real and genuine staff, and all the decades of compassionate work flow through the place and what we do and it feels just right. We are so grateful to you and what you all do! Thank you for the work around making such a place available and for the way you welcome people. I really like watching the change that starts to flow through them when they arrive!
