We created BlueRidge Balance based on the idea that people are interested in undertaking a journey from the outside world to their inner nature. Our retreats are located in the most stunning and peaceful settings in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Asheville NC, so that our guests can enjoy an enriching and memorable experience that will change the concept of daily life into moments of deep connection and appreciation. 

​

BlueRidge Balance was created for those in recovery at 8 months and forward of their personal recovery.  Research indicates that in this intersection of recovery, young adults in recovery have worked hard completing primary care and extended care.  Many at this point in their journey are working hard with their peer,support systems and have nearly complete their 12 step framework with sponsors.

 

 However, statistics reveal many people will self sabotage at this mark and many have a tendency to shift away from what they worked so hard to achieve at this point.  At BlueRidge Balance we offer a 4 day immersion experience with 12 step reflection working with each guest on a step they are struggling individually. Through experiential activities and majestic beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Asheville, North Carolina spiritually thrives.

​

The Mountains are majestic. It is spectacular and the power of healing is overwhelmingly present.  That step our guest is struggling with to become meaningful and manageable.  

We believe by developing strong ties with the 12-step community the chances of success increase exponentially.  Our Monthly Groups are limited to no more than 7 guests each retreat. Therefore, making your experience a very special one....
