Kanuga Spiritual Retreats
Reconnect with Yourself and Creation
At Your Pace and Your Price
Personal, private connections with Creation’s natural rhythms instill a sense of healing, nourishment, and wellbeing for body and soul. In this era of “busy,” of “doing,” take a moment to simply “be.”
With 1,400 acres of forests, trails, lakes, and green spaces, Kanuga is a year-round sanctuary for your spirit. We’re pleased to invite you to experience a deeply spiritual, personal retreat in our mountain valley home.
Stay in an historic 1900s cottage or in a more contemporary inn room, enjoy hearty meals, and soak in that special peace and awe found only in nature. Enrich your visit by selecting from a variety of staff-led experiences like sound bathing, massage, guided meditative hikes, and spiritual direction.
These retreats are designed individually for and with you, tailored to your specific needs through personal consultation with Kanuga’s staff prior to booking.
An individualized package will be created based on your preferences and budget.
