Mountain Light Sanctuary

Nestled in a secluded cove within the Pisgah National Forest, 35 minutes north of Asheville, North Carolina, Mountain Light Sanctuary is surrounded by some of the highest peaks in the eastern USA.

Entrance to the Sanctuary is at the point where two cascading creeks come together, generating an energy and an ambiance nothing short of magical.

Mountain Light Sanctuary is a gateway between the human world of "busy" and "doing" and the natural world of harmony and "being." It is your base camp for exploring hundreds of miles of trails meandering through the half million acres of Pisgah National Forest, or inner explorations from your own special spot under an ancient hemlock, on a mossy rock amid the ferns, or in a secluded grotto beside the creek.

Mountain Light Sanctuary is designed for spiritual and creative retreat; for meditation, alone time in the mountains, writing, art; however your Spirit expresses itself.

A Zen garden, a Celtic standing stone circle, a Native American medicine wheel, a garden of St. Francis, a grotto of the Divine Feminine, an elfin grove, a hammock next to the creek and an extensive library; all spiritual paths centered in love are honored.

This land is so special. I needed to connect with nature and this place was so special. It had a wonderful warm feel to it and a truly magical quality. Thank you Michael for being such a wonderful host and caretaker for this lovely, vibrant place. The retreat was a wonderful, nurturing growth process for me as it seemed to be for all of us. Profound to say the least of all of my experiences. The circle experience was a tremendous growth process for me.

My retreat at Mountain Light Sanctuary was a magical experience. Community with the land and other women was so refreshing. Nana is nothing short of a miracle worker. She is so amazing as a channel and friend. Michael's presence was felt no matter where he was on the land. His presence was gentle & nurturing to all the women.

The most profound experience of my life!
Anna Parnell
Sebring, FL.


Sometimes in our life is so filled with Aha's there are no words. The last four days have been this way. The magic began when we entered the vehicle for this trip. I rode with Nana. Here energy filled the car as our transformation began. By the time we entered the forest the mystic energies of the ancients surrounded us. Then we walked through the gates and on to or into the magical, mystical, marvelous land that is held in steward by the gentlest spirit this one has remembered. There are gifts and treasures in every blade of grass. The hidden spaces are only hidden while your heart adjusts. From the Earth Mother every healing energy is provided. Nana channeled the energies of many who wanted to speak to us. Michael's giant wings spread wide then embraced everyone of the goddesses that entered here for this majestic
retreat.
Thank you for an amazing experience! The retreat was powerful, Peaceful, transformation & tranquil for all. The love that you have put into this land shines forth in everything space, the hidden treasures are a joy to discover! It was pure pleasure to have you with us as we journeyed together. All the women love you so much and felt honor and gratitude for your gentle Spirit and such a beautiful anchoring of the masculine energy. Singing in the kitchen was a highlight for me. You have a beautiful voice - thank you for sharing it with us through song & sacred chant.
The laughter was also such an important piece for everyone and your sense of humor and the jokes that you shared were a blessing to us all. You really are an angel in service to humanity and the planet. We have affectionately called you archangel Michael and the Elf King. I love you dearly. Keep shinning!
