YOUR PERSONAL RETREAT at AMETHYST
Amethyst Retreat Center is one of those unique places where tranquility comes over you as you drive up the lane. While you are on retreat, wake up to the sunrise and walk or hike through the meadow, along the woods or down by the stream on our 144 acres of undeveloped land. Sit quietly observing nature and come back home to your own heart and true self. Walk the Labyrinth. Pick wildflowers and fresh vegetables from our organic garden. Hike our forest trails and stop at one of the lovely spots to enjoy the quiet of the trees and the bubbling of the creek. Complete your day sitting by the outdoor fire pit. Expect to see an abundance of wildlife - wild turkey, deer, possum, hawks and an abundance of songbirds. The sunsets over the mountain and the night star shine are amazing!
Amethyst Retreat Center is the perfect sacred space to enjoy a retreat in the sanctuary of nature and there are so many reasons to begin planning your personal retreat. Come on your own or bring friends with you.
