Event Spotlight
With Christine Hoyer
June 29 - July 2, 2023

We are part of nature and it is important to take the time to pause and renew, recharge, and reconnect with nature and ourselves. This will be an opportunity to drop the stories, the labels, and just be. Nature can offer us a kind of mirror - reflecting something about ourselves, something we may not be able to see in our thoughts, actions or being, or something that serves our journey. All are welcome – no previous experience is necessary - whether you are already connected to nature or seek to feel or strengthen that connection and the benefits that come from such a partnership.

Consider Well Being Retreat Center for your next group or personal retreat. We have re-opened our main Conference Building with Meeting Hall and Dining Room, expansive decks and full service bathrooms. The 1,800 square foot, open-air Powell River Pavilion on the riverbank is an alternative space for event sessions immersed in Nature.
The eleven Cabins and six Cabinettes can accommodate up to 38 people and we have a licensed campground with sleeping "AT" shelters and full service bathrooms nearby.

Wellness & Good Food immersed in Nature
Everything at Well Being Retreat Center supports health and wellness: wellness of body, wellness of mind, and, of course, wellness of spirit. The land is quiet enough that you can hear a deer rustling from across the river, or an owl calling from a mile away, or hear the breeze in the trees. The earth-sheltered cabins are low EMF and the beds are very comfortable. Meals are fresh, flavorful, gluten-free and healthy. More information of Retreat Meals here.

Well Being's (Mostly) Silent Weekend Retreats
Well Being Retreat Center offers weekend Retreats nearly every month. These retreats include silent sittings, guided meditations, a discourse and Q&A with Don Oakley and some sharing led by Patty Bottari.

Stay in one of the comfortable cabins, prepare your own meals on your own schedule in your cabin, wake up to the serenity of the Cumberland Mountains, go for a walk along the two miles of river frontage, explore Nature, commune with the deer, go for a paddle, and return home refreshed.
