Waking Dreams Retreat is a two-story home in the Blue Ridge Mountains, the second oldest range in the world. If you are sensitive to the energy vortex that surrounds Asheville, North Carolina, you can feel it simply by venturing onto the half-acre Waking Dreams Retreat property. Walk up onto the porch, step inside the front door, and you can find yourself coming home. In the very best sense of the word. Wayne and Laurie Clifford created this art-filled, six-bedroom, four-bath home in 2010 with the intention of blessing their guests. "From the tops of their heads to the tips of their toes," as Laurie is fond of saying. Since then guests from around the country have arrived at Waking Dreams Retreat as seekers and departed as finders. Waking Dreams Retreat provides personalized healing retreat spaces for individuals, couples, families and groups. "Our primary intention for Waking Dreams Retreat is to provide a healing retreat space for body, soul and spirit," Laurie says. "A stay for any reason allow our guests a beautiful, affordable and accommodating place to rest. Our goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment while at the same time respecting each person's uniqueness and privacy." Each of the two private guest spaces at Waking Dreams Retreat has its own bathroom, kitchenette, and use of washer/dryer. There is no television reception, but there are lots of movies to borrow. There is high-speed internet. There is no smoking inside the Retreat, but there is a designated smoking space outside. Firearms are not allowed on the property. Well-behaved guest pets are welcome to accompany their humans. Laurie's training as a mother, writer, licensed clinical hypnotherapist and speaker has allowed her to blossom into a uniquely gifted non-sectarian guide.
