Welcome to your home away from home. The ambiance of Moon Rising Retreat brings together the ancient wisdom of the Himalayas, international culture, and the charm of the Blue Ridge Mountains High Country. From the first moment of arrival to the last goodbye, we have intentionally curated all of the small details to support rest, remembrance, and powerful shifts in consciousness. We invite you to be our guest and let yourself be held by nature, our staff, and the Divine magic of our space.
Sacred Lands
Moon Rising is a space for healing and learning. The medicine of this potent space is felt upon entering the gates and exploring the 22 acres. The land is full of spaces intentionally created and maintained with love. From the crystal-powered Chakra Garden overflowing with vegetables, herbs, and wild flowers, serenity at Spirit Spot, cold water immersion at Buddha's Beach, silence at Moss Point, grounding at Big Rock, exploring at Opportunity Bridge, and going inward at Kunda's Cave, there is no shortage of dedicated spaces to be in presence and peace.
