Nature sanctuary

Tepeilhuilotl, or Mountain Dove, is our 17-acre nature sanctuary up on a mountain just north of Asheville, NC.

At these sublime heights, you can forget the heavy challenges of the valleys below and transcend into a natural mountain paradise of clouds and mists, trails winding upwards, and lush verdant forest filled with welcoming trees and medicinal healing plants.
