About Us :
Over 200 acres of Mother Nature's bounty await the world weary traveler. Terra Nova is centrally located in Western North Carolina in the land of waterfalls.
This is simply a beautiful land, managed and kept by a dedicated team of people Meet The Terra Nova Staff who believe that this is a sacred place and strive to do the best they can to honor that fact. Along with many trails a 12 acre lake offers our guests the opportunity to canoe, paddleboat, swim or sit quietly for lakeside meditation. Several streams come together throughout the property, each with it's own special voice cascading over the brook stones.
While at Terra Nova make sure you spend a bit of time visiting our gardens. The angel garden is especially beautiful at any time of year. Many have visited our Friendship garden and left their blessing by placing a stone on the Stupa in the center, perhaps you will too.
Many great workshops and events are held in our spacious chapel. We hold church services every Sunday morning at 11:00 am. Everyone is welcome. Once a month we hold a special service and share a pot luck dinner afterwards. Check the Calendar Page for dates.
Terra Nova Center is the home of Rev. Marian Starnes, author and founder of The Brigade of Light.
