Retreats and Professional Development
Retreats and Professional Development
Rest. Regulate. Reflect. Reset. Restore. Refresh. Rewire.
Harmony offers Group Retreats at our 354-acre camp in the foothills of Chilhowee Mountain in Maryville, Tennessee. We incorporate neuroscience informed activities that are centered in the wisdom of nature-based practices.
We offer customized retreats that fit your group’s needs. We can work with you to plan the retreat or support the retreat that you plan. Half-day, day-long, or multi-day experiences can include relaxation, nature-based activities, teambuilding activities, professional development … or just rocking on the lodge’s big front porch, looking up at the mountain, and breathing in the fresh air.
For more information, please contact Keith A. Bailey, Ph.D. – Professional and Community Development Director at keith@harmonyfmailycenter.org.
