Our Spiritual Perspective

Our spiritual path at the Sanctuary is very simple. It is the path of the heart, in whatever form that may take at any given moment.

When we step beyond the mind and belief and into the heart we experience the true nature of Divine Presence as Love.

We honor the human need to believe and to reach out (or inward) to Divine Presence through various forms & practices. But we know that when the Essence is reached, regardless of the method or path, it will be known as Love.

The purpose of Mountain Light Sanctuary is to provide you with a place to rediscover and reconnect with your essential nature, with your original innocence, with Divine Presence, and with Love.

Personal Retreats

The Sanctuary is available for personal retreats with guests normally being lodged at our one room Hermitage. It is the perfect place to get away from it all. There is a spacious porch overlooking our cascading mountain stream that offers you a quiet place to read, write, paint or meditate. Or it can be your base camp for exploring endless miles of national forest trails into the mountains. We require a minimum stay of two nights.

Group Retreats

The Sanctuary is available for small group retreats and it is especially ideal for groups focusing on Earth oriented themes or simply those who like to be close to nature while learning. We can manage a group of up to 12 for a long weekend with accommodations ranging from indoor guest rooms to outdoor shelters. The rate is $100 per person for up to three nights without food. Normally groups bring their own food and prepare in the lodge kitchen. Also, groups are asked to bring their own sleeping gear.

Embracing Simplicity Hermitage

41 Wisdom Lane
Hendersonville, NC 28739

828-696-1638

www.embracingsimplicityhermitage.org


Embracing Simplicity Hermitage is located just outside Hendersonville, North Carolina. Hendersonville is in western North Carolina, 22 miles south of Asheville, NC, in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

The hermitage property is 8 ½ wooded acres of botanical gardens with more than 3,000 woodland plants, trees and flowers (some of them rare specimens), with walking meditation paths throughout the gardens and along the stream, which meanders over rocks and through deep pools. Although we are little more than off the beaten path, our guests can totally immerse themselves in the sweet scents of flora, the sound of birds and the fountain flowing into a large fish pond, where the fish will greet you if you put your fingers into the water.
Embracing Simplicity Hermitage, is an American Buddhist Contemplative Order whose foundation is Theravadan. A "four-fold" community of monks and lay members (both male and female) was founded to provide residential training for monastics and lay members of our Order, and to be a place of spiritual refuge for humanity. We respect all the spiritual masters and offer haven for contemplatives and serious practitioners. So, you don’t have to be Buddhist to visit us or use our facilities. In keeping with American culture, our monks are approachable and touchable.
