Eco-Focused Design Philosophy
Elohee’s structures are built to embrace the specific eco-niche of its surroundings. This conscious partnership with the Earth aids in personal transformation by connecting us with its inherent healing energies.
Life requires a balance between order and chaos. If life always followed the same rules, there would be no room for anything new. However, if life didn’t follow some set of rules, chaos would ensue. This balancing act between order and chaos is the ripe point where unexpected new behaviors and growth emerge.
This phenomenon is found at all levels of creation. Thus, each eco-niche sustains even as it simultaneously demands change.
The ecosystems of the Blue Ridge Mountains are exceptionally diverse. They range from forested, deep-soiled valleys to exposed barren ridges with green mountain tops as well as bald peaks. Elohee’s facilities embody these different niches and dynamic energies, so that guests can discover the internal edge where growth is new and tender, where transformation is emerging.
