Be here with me, in the Truth.
2019 Wellness Retreat
Just wanted to send out one final email before we gather on Thursday! Below are a few answers to some FAQs:
- arrival on Thursday needs to be between 1-3pm (Bliss will be giving us an orientation at 3:30pm)
- departure on Sunday is at 11am (though you can leave as early as you like - we will have an early yoga practice followed by breakfast at 9:30am)
- the Bell tents DO NOT have electricity (PLEASE PLAN ACCORDINGLY) ; there are plenty of outlets in the Farmhouse that can be used by anyone
- see below for a link to the Google Maps directions as well as some additional directions from Bliss Farm
- the weather looks like it will be lovely with low 80s during the day and low 50s in the evenings (so be sure to pack layers!)
- the phone number for Bliss Farm is (828)626-0840 - please call them if you have questions about directions, etc.
- my cell phone number is (703)965-3396 - please call/text me with anything else!
Travel safely and I'll see you on Thursday!

THINGS TO KNOW
- Here is a great packing list & guidelines provided by Bliss Farm.
- And this the most adorable hand-drawn map of the property. When you arrive, please pull up to the Farmhouse where staff will be available to park your car (see below for info on ride-sharing!) and bring your bags directly to your accommodations.
- I will be providing a detailed "agenda" for the retreat upon arrival - for now, all you need to know is to arrive between 1-3pm on Thursday for check-in!

Bliss Farm is located off exit 15, Jupiter Rd/ Barnardsville, on I-26. If coming from Asheville, Take a right off the exit on to Barnardsville Hwy. Continue down Barnardsville Hwy for about 6 miles. You will pass 2 gas stations and then you will reach, "downtown" Barnardsville. You will see a SMALL post office on your left. Make a right shortly after onto Dillingham Rd. Continue down this road for about 4 miles, you will make 2 sharp turns while on this road. Shortly after you make the last sharp turn, you will go over a small bridge, turn left onto Town Branch Road immediately after the bridge. Continue down Town Branch all the way to the end. Make a right onto the asphalt driveway, we are the first gate on your right, you will see our signs for Bliss Farm.
Most GPS systems will get you to our driveway just fine. Just remember that our driveway is on the right at the end of Town Branch.
