Well Being Retreat Center Facilities
The facilities at Well Being Retreat Center support nondual spiritual retreats, nature appreciation events, meditation retreats, and yoga workshops
Well Being Foundation is a 501(c)3 a non-profit, non-denominational, unaffiliated organization located on 160 acres of scenic rural land in Tazewell, Tennessee bordered by 2 1/2 miles of the environmentally significant Powell River.
The Retreat Center began in 2009 when Don Oakley and Patty Bottari (husband and wife) moved onto the raw land. The retreat center has all been constructed since. We hold our own monthly retreats and host a variety of other weekend or longer retreats throughout the year. The cabins are comfortable and the retreat meals are tasty and nutritious. Nature and silence abound.
Our Main Conference Building has a Meeting Room which can seat up to 50 people, a licensed Commercial Kitchen and Dining Room which can seat up to 38 people indoors and there is an expansive outdoor deck overlooking the Powell River Valley that has additional seating. The building is climate controlled with AC and has excellent new fiber optic wifi, full service bathrooms and vaulted ceilings.
Our 1,800 square foot open air Powell River Pavilion on the banks of the scenic Powell River is an alternative fresh-air meeting facility. A second Commercial Kitchen and Men's and Women's bathrooms are adjacent.
Well Being Retreat Center has 14 cabins and six Cabinettes that can sleep up to a total of 38 people on retreat.
Meals
Full Service, freshly prepared meals are served for Retreat attendees. We serve vegetarian meals, or non-vegetarian meals with a vegetarian option. Nearly all of our recipes are gluten-free and mostly organic, often from our garden in the warmer months. We provide assorted herbal and black teas, coffee, fruits, mixed nuts and homemade sweet loafs (such as almond banana loaf) during retreats.
