Do you want to learn how to reflect inward and unlock what you keep hidden, even from yourself?

November's all-inclusive retreats are located at the Possum Trot Inn in the Black Mountains Range of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Burnsville, North Carolina. The inn is a 19th Century Victorian mansion originally built as a hotel for the CC&O Railroad in 1890. This private retreat is located in the rural Possum Trot Valley with a small stream meandering through the hollow amidst gently rolling hills, green pastures and far reaching slopes. Straight out of a Charles Dickens novel, this lavish estate is one of the few remaining vintage homes left in the area.
