Truest You-est You®

Demystify and Experience Your Higher Self

Anjie Hipple & Julie Reisler

If you’re craving steadiness, self-trust, and a felt connection to something wiser within, this retreat was made for you. Co-hosted by intuitive teacher Julie Reisler and channel Anjie Hipple (bringing through the angelic collective Judah), this heart-opening immersion equips you with direct experiences and simple, repeatable practices to remember who you are—and live from it. Through channeled meditations, sound healing, and gentle energy attunements, you’ll clear limiting imprints (including ancestral patterns), open and stabilize your heart, activate intuition, and anchor simple daily practices that keep you aligned long after you return home.

Starting at $340 (Tuition) + $616 (Lodging + Meals) plus tax

Yes, we ask that guests with food allergies simply inform us so we can communicate those needs to our chef. Typically, we label potential allergens such as gluten, dairy, and nuts. You may email us at info@artoflivingretreatcenter.org.

Thanks to the cool climate of the Blue Ridge Mountains, air conditioning is rarely needed. For the occasional warm day, there is a fan in each room to help keep you comfortable.

We do have lodging and event venues that are ADA-compliant. Due to the topography of our mountain campus, some are easier to access than others, so please speak to Guest Services (800.392.6870) prior to registering to ensure we can best accommodate your needs. We also have shuttles that run frequently throughout the campus.

We are committed to the safety of our guests and staff. Our mountaintop location and the surrounding areas are spacious, remote, safe, and secure.

  • It is safe to leave your windows open—and necessary for proper airflow!
  • Nature surrounds our campus, and it’s common to see rabbits, deer, gophers, wild turkeys, and other small animals. Please give them space, and they’ll do the same for you. We’ve never had a safety incident with animals on campus.

You can help!

  • If you come across an animal on campus or a trail, give it space, and please do not attempt to pet or feed it.
  • There’s no need to bring valuables to the retreat center; leaving them at home is best.

We are remote—yet easy to get to.
