Call Directions Website Contact the organization

We're a non-profit retreat center on 160 peaceful acres surrounded by river in Northeast TN. We offer hosted retreats and welcome outside retreat leaders.

Mostly organic meals and a quiet space for stillness, presence, and connection with nature. When Well Being Retreat Center was purchased in 2008, there was only an old barn here. Since then, we have constructed four Earth-Sheltered Cabins, the more conventionally built Wood Duck Cabin, the Retreat Center Building, six Cabinettes, six tiny houses, and the Powell River Pavilion. These facilities are available for wellness workshops, Yoga retreats, mindfulness programs, meditation retreats, personal retreats & sabbaticals, family reunions, civic meetings, church groups, ecological conferences and similar.
