The Blue Ridge Highlands are gentle, rolling mountains blanketed with green forestry and clear blue skies. As a part of the Appalachain mountain range, The Highlands once stood as tall as the European Alps and are over 480 million years old, making them the oldest mountains in the world. They are a touchstone to the beauty, endurance, and primordial histroy of the Earth.

Hidden away deep in Blue Ridge, The Bliss House overlooks a sea of forested land. Outside, breathe in fresh forest air, hear the rush of waterfalls, and see peaks of mountains in the distance. Hike trails and bathe in fresh spring water. Inside, enter a sacred space. Practice, heal, and relax in the altar room adorned with sacred paintings and effigies from the Himalayas.

All ceremonies and most studies will be held at the Celestial Center – a Mongolian-style yurt that is 33’ in diameter and sits atop a 1600 square foot deck overlooking a mountain valley. As you walkthrough the entranceway, there is wide, open space in all directions. High walls blend into vaulted ceilings that point to the heavens. At its pinnacle, a glass dome at the top allows sunshine to flood in during the day. At night, lay down and look up to see the stars and moon shine through. Open windows to feel a cool mountain breeze flow through and hear the sound of waterfalls in the distance.

The ever so talented chef Mei will treat us to delicious and nutritious 3 meals every day!

Be ready for incredible hikes, bonfires, waterfall sightings and special surprises.
