Our 2nd Season of
Life-changing Vacations in Beautiful Mountain Retreat Settings

The goal is to prepare ourselves for the coming decades of change so that we might share this peace and sense of purpose with others. Our Gatherings are stress-free as well as child- and family-friendly (14 and under are free). Our guests come from all religions and no religion. 

The pace is enlivening yet relaxed. There is swimming, hiking, canoes, ropes courses, tennis and volleyball courts on the premises. The ambiance is part music festival, part retreat, part workshops, & part summer camp.

Days of Conscious Instruction                   

First, we gather around the fire circle where, via storytelling and video footage, we travel together through our books where you meet via video the indigenous Elders and hear their messages of unconditional love for all.

Our evenings continue with parties with performances by conscious recording artists including:

•Inner Visions, Laura Reed & Deep Pocket, Chalwa, Robanic, Tim Alimena, Songs of Solomon, Julian Abey, Satta Lions, & more

Afterwards, there are drumming circles and our One Love Coffee Shop stays open until the early morning hours.

“For us, it was definitely a life changing experience. I have so much renewed optimism and ideas!”

“No words can express the appreciation for the change that I feel in the past week. Usually a nice thank you would be appropriate but instead I would like to say "One Love," because that is the new outlook that I have on life.”

Katelind, Boone, NC

“Many blessings and lots of gratitude for facilitating the amazing week we all spent together.  Definitely one of the best weeks I have spent in my life, if not the best!!!!!”
