Our Mission

Our mission is to provide a retreat environment for self-discovery, healing, and awakening rooted in the transformative power of nature.

The Elohee Center was envisioned by Eve Cook who, during her battle with Refractory Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, found comfort in the serenity of the Blue Ridge Mountains of north Georgia. With the help of her family, an idea for a retreat center was hatched and lovingly brought to life as a refuge for spiritual and physical healing.

It’s more than just a retreat center; it’s a heartfelt dream woven into reality, a sanctuary where every soul can find solace, healing, and a sense of belonging. With every stone laid and every path carved, the family infused Elohee with a profound intention: to offer a peaceful haven that mirrors the unconditional love and wisdom of nature itself.

On this 30-acre canvas of natural beauty, every element — from the cozy Mandala Hall and its tranquil Reflection Pond to the welcoming Thanksgiving House, the seven quaint cottages, and the winding miles of trails — is a gentle invitation to pause, breathe, and reconnect with your inner self. Elohee is a testament to living in harmony with our environment, a place where the whispers of the earth inspire us to awaken to our true potential.

Here, amidst the majestic mountains, we’re reminded of the beauty of simply being. Elohee isn’t just a location; it’s a community, a family extended to every retreat organizer, trainer, teacher, and guest. It’s an embodiment of love and dedication to growth, connection, and the nurturing of mind and body through practices like meditation, yoga, and art. We invite you to join us at Elohee, to step into a space where transformation is nurtured, and every visit is a step closer to finding your own path to inner peace and joy.
