Wellspring Lifestyle Retreat
Goodspring, Tennessee,
United States
 We are building a place of healing, cleansing, and Christian fellowship on our beautiful 52 acre property. It is located in the rolling hills of southern Middle Tennessee. This is a place where you can come to escape the noise of the city, take walks in the fresh air, eat freshly prepared vegan food and be tranformed by the peace around you. In the summer we have a garden--the size depends on how many people can help work in it. We are also nearly finished with a small new green house. We only grow organic produce and use only natural pesticides (like cayenne pepper and essential oils). We have our own spring water that is free from chlorine and chemicals. Our place is to be a place of ministry. We also teach the community about country living and leading a healthier, more holistic lifestyle. We would like for more people to come and be apart of this vision. If you have skills that you can bring to the table--medical, carpentry, agricultural or whatever God has blessed you with, we apprectiate the blessing your presence will have. We are still in the beginning stages but are very open to help and for discussion. Thank you.
