Join us April 24 - 27, 2025 for “Awaken: Spring Yoga Retreat for New Beginnings,” a 3-night Yoga Retreat at Elohee Wellness Center, nestled in the beautiful mountains of the Sautee Nacoochee National Forest.

Spring is a time of New Beginnings - where the dormancy of Winter is melting away, and beautiful, vibrant new life is awakening in the world all around!

Accommodations

The Thanksgiving House was the original structure at Elohee and is currently available for use by small private groups. With six bedrooms and four bathrooms, it sleeps up to fourteen. It offers two community rooms with fireplaces, a kitchen and dining room, as well as a meditation/yoga room.  The outdoor patio has its own fireplace and overlooks a 100 foot waterfall and small pool.

The Thanksgiving House is nestled in a Rich Cove Forest niche which supports a wide range of trees and plants.  Red maple, oak, basswood, and poplar are only a few of the types of trees growing here. Spring wildflowers and medicinal herbs flourish here. Mosses and rotting logs make the damp forest floor suitable for a wide variety of salamanders and one of the most diverse ecosystems found outside the tropics.

The Thanksgiving House is situated next to a 100-ft. waterfall, and about a 10-minute walk from Bald Mountain. It has 6 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, 2 indoor fireplaces, 1 outdoor fireplace, and a meeting space that comfortably fits 10-13 people.

About Elohee

From the Elohee website: "We call the 220 acres of undeveloped land where Elohee rests Landsong. It is located in the North Georgia mountains in the foothills of the Blue Ridge near the village of Sautee Nacoochee. Andy and Carolyn Bralley purchased the land in 2010 while their daughter, Evie Cook, was battling refractory Hodgkins lymphoma. Learn more about Eve’s story and the beginnings of Elohee.

The Elohee Center at Landsong is being created to provide a retreat space in Nature to allow for self-exploration, individual growth, and mind/body healing. It is a place where Earth and Air, Fire and Water nurture wisdom both ancient and new. This endeavor has expanded to include extended family and an ever-widening circle of friends who have not only joined us in its creation, but have enjoyed the transforming, healing power of the land on which it sits. Learn more about our mission and the people who make Elohee possible.

Elohee ( EL-oh-HEE ) is a Cherokee word meaning 'earth place.'"
