Accommodation
Seven Springs is the Tennessee home of Zach and Jessi, two of Kula Collective co-founders. The family spirit is strong here: Jessi’s grandmother and parents have been homesteading the land for almost fifty years. From building to managing to mowing the grass, it takes all four generations to keep it up.
Set on 126 acres of secluded forest, this is the perfect place to disconnect and reconnect. It has come a long way in six years, earning the title of #1 meditation retreat center in Success Magazine (Sep/22).
Gather for practice on the hand-built shala with local cedar posts. Nourish yourself with Olivia’s hearty local vegan and vegetarian cuisine. Fill your cup with crystal-clear spring water. Walk the creek between the springs among old-growth hardwoods. Get out to explore and hike Great Smoky Mountain National Park just a short drive away. Just 25 minutes from the Knoxville airport and within a day’s drive of so many cities, getting away from it all has never been this easy.
As summer sings in the mountains, rivers, and forests, it is a perfect time to allow the fire of the sun to purify and ignite the intentions in your heart, mind, and soul. This 22-day journey provides the space between to explore yourself, letting you emerge feeling supported, inspired, and full of the breath of new beginnings, with a clear direction and aligned action.
