ELOHEE RETREAT CENTER When Eve Cook was battling an aggressive cancer in her mid-30s, she escaped to her family’s plot of land in the Blue Ridge Mountains of northeast Georgia and watched her health mirror the seasons: first barren, then bursting with life. She now runs a retreat center on that land, near the artsy town of Sautee Nacoochee . Elohee’s upscale cottages and meeting spaces welcome visitors for meditation, yoga, art, empowerment, worship (all faiths welcome) and restorative rambles among ferns and hemlocks. 72 #EXPLOREGEORGIA ELOHEE RETREAT CENTER, SAUTEE NACOOCHEE/BENJAMIN GALLAND
