ABOUT THE RETREAT CENTER:
Located at an elevation of 4,200 feet in western North Carolina, The Mountain Retreat & Learning Center  provides breathtaking views, old growth forest, and 94 acres that include rare oaks, a labyrinth, a mountain lake and hiking trails.

The Mountain has taken important steps in preserving the unique environment and ecosystem around it. In 2008, the property was placed in a conservation easement with the Highlands-Cashiers Land Trust. As a result of the conservation easement, The Mountain’s property is preserved in perpetuity.

The Mountain is home to the last stand of ancient and wind-sheared white oak trees in the world. Core sampling by researchers at Clemson University yielded ages up to 313 years. Some of the rare plant species on the property include Hartweg’s Locust, Shale-barren Blazing Star and Biltmore Sedge. The wealth of species is a result of Highlands’s mountainous location, high rainfall, high altitude and lack of industrial developments.
ABOUT THE MEALS:
Healthy meals are carefully prepared by the kitchen staff at The Mountain for nourishment of body and spirit in mind. When possible, regionally grown foods and seasonal produce from our one-acre+ organic farm are used in the kitchen. 
Three meals per day will be provided during this retreat. All meals are served buffet style in the dining hall. We will be able to accommodate vegetarian and vegan diets, so please let us know if you have a special dietary request upon registering.
