Our capacity is extremely limited, so we strongly recommend you register for our programs at least three to six months in advance.

Our wellness programs are immersive experiences developed to fully engage guests in our specially designed schedule. Because of this, we do not allow guests to leave the retreat center during our wellness programs, unless in the case of an emergency. If you’ve forgotten something, we’ll provide it for you. Private retreats may have different requirements.

Our guests must be 18 years or older. 

Programs are carefully designed to be challenging and produce results. They have been created to progress sequentially, with each day becoming more challenging as the hikes become slightly longer. Please address any concerns about your physical condition in your intake form at registration and a member of The Phoenix Wellness team will contact you to discuss your concerns in more detail.

The Phoenix Wellness Retreat is located in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina. In general, the terrain is mountainous and wooded. There are many different hikes available, ranging from well improved and easy paths to rustic and extremely challenging paths. Daily hikes will be chosen based on a number of factors, including the overall program schedule, weather, the individual participants and the trail conditions.

Our signature programs run from May until mid-November. The climate in this region is generally mild, with spring starting in March. Summer highs of 90° F occur in July and August. Fall season is spectacular in the Blue Ridge Mountains, with peak colors typically seen October-November. Please email our Wellness Team for more details prior to your arrival. 

You will leave feeling energized with more clarity and greater peace of mind. You will be ready to return to your life with renewed vigor and a plethora of new wellness practices to incorporate into your daily routine. 

The health and safety of our guests and staff is our highest priority. We’ve made several adjustments to our programs to ensure appropriate social distancing. We’ve installed the highest standard air purifiers in the center and heightened our cleaning protocols to align with current CDC standards and best practices. 

Our Covid-19 policies are updated regularly in accordance with the CDC recommendations and what we feel best ensures the safety of our guests and our team. For our current updated Covid-19 policies or any additional concerns, please contact us at info@phoenixwellnessretreat.com.
