Fall Elementary CON
2026-11-06 - 2026-11-08
Fall Elementary CON
Youth Conventions or “CONs” are weekend long events planned by youth with adult support for youth from third grade to high school. At heart, a youth con is an experience in building covenantal community and empowering youth leadership.
Supported by the larger work of The Mountain, each con has a different theme and focus, but they all incorporate community building, fun, worship, and exploration of spirituality. Each event has its own covenant and is in covenant with The Mountain’s safety policies. Youth experience both the safety of being in a covenantal community and the responsibility to repair relationships when difficult situations arise.
Youth have the opportunity to serve in leadership roles to help plan events, help run events, help the CON community live in covenant, or be peer chaplains for emotional support.

The Path Within Retreat
2026-11-13 - 2026-11-15
The Path Within Retreat

“A Crossroads Reset Experience”
November 13–15, 2026
The Mountain Retreat & Learning Center
Highlands, North Carolina

A Place to Pause Before Your Next Becoming
There are moments in life when something inside us quietly says:
“This way of living is no longer sustainable.”
Not because we are broken.
Not because we failed.
But because we have drifted too far from ourselves.

The Path Within Retreat is a 2 1/2-day immersive experience for people navigating transition, burnout, grief, identity shifts, emotional exhaustion, spiritual awakening, or the deep inner knowing that something needs to change.

This retreat is rooted in the Living Beyond Base Camp framework, a grounded approach to healing and reflection that blends nature, authentic conversation, sacred pause, and meaningful human connection.
This year’s retreat also integrates the Crossroads Reset conversation, helping participants explore the moments where life invites us to stop surviving on autopilot and begin reconnecting with what truly matters.

It is about creating a grounded place where people can:
Rest.
Reconnect.
Reflect.
Reorient.
And prepare for what comes next.
The retreat experience follows a gentle progression:
Day 1 — Arrival
Slow down. Land. Exhale.
Day 2 — Reflection & Reconnection
Explore the Crossroads Reset conversation and reconnect with what matters most.
Day 3 — Integration & Becoming
Clarify what you are carrying forward and what you are ready to leave behind.

Your Retreat Experience Includes
• Two nights lodging at The Mountain Retreat & Learning Center
• Retreat sessions and facilitated experiences
• Guided meditations and restorative practices
• Community gathering circles
• Nature-based experiences
• Meals during the retreat
• Retreat worksheets and integration materials
Retreat Location
The Mountain Retreat & Learning Center

Leave more connected to yourself.
