MOTHER MARY'S MOUNTAIN



Every human being deserves a place to feel embraced by the magnificence of the Creator's creation in nature. Mother Mary's Mountain offers balance, majesty, solace, and healing of nature in its 16+ acre retreat log center. All rooms are opened to the Shenandoah mountains including the jacuzzi room. A hiking trail overlooks the valley. There is a pond and a stream, a Cherokee healing lodge, and two tree houses for children. The main building provides space for housing and educational activities with all the comforts of today's living: laundry room, two bathrooms, large kitchen, loft area, wood stove, TV, VCR, Cassette & CD player, and yes a record player for the oldies!.

Participants experience the intrinsic beauty of nature being sheltered by pine, oak, dogwood, and cedar trees surrounding the mountain valley. An early riser can see deer, fox, rabbits, squirrels, and daily circling of eagles and hawks. Sorry no snakes or bears on site.
This totally safe environment is fifteen minutes away from a shopping mall with a Food Lion, Rite Aid, and restaurants. Educational museums are local as is Lake Anne for swimming and Lake Tomahawk for canoeing and fishing. Traveling time from the Washington DC area is about 2 hours and 15 minutes. The local airport in Harrisonburg is 30 minutes away.

Positive Education, Inc. hosts educational retreats, healing lodges, and vision quests at Mother Mary's Mountain. The mountain, literally behind the Center, is dedicated to the Mother of Jesus. Walking up this mountain to the top and viewing the Shenandoah Valley can bring a lasting spiritual peace to one's being.
