After regional flooding, the restorative wellness center opens its doors and commits a portion of retreat proceeds to recovery efforts
ASHEVILLE, N.C., July 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Phoenix Asheville, a premier retreat center focused on wellness and dedicated to renewal, connection, and growth in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, announced today that it is fully open and once again welcoming guests to its upcoming programs. The center re-opened after completing a comprehensive renovation following severe flooding caused by Hurricane Helene, which displaced families and disrupted daily life across Asheville and its surrounding communities.
To commemorate its reopening and honor the resilience of the local community, The Phoenix Asheville will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Wednesday, August 6 at 4 pm, welcoming local officials, partners, and supporters to commemorate this new chapter for the center and the region.
"The Phoenix was built on the idea of rising through adversity, and this moment is no exception," said Marsha Ralls, Founder and CEO of The Phoenix Asheville. "As communities across the region continue to face the devastating effects of flooding, we're reminded how important it is to come together in support of one another with intention and a commitment to rebuild better."
The way Asheville has come together in the aftermath of the floods is a powerful example of strength and resilience. In support of the city's continued healing, a percentage of proceeds from each of its upcoming retreats this season will be donated to local efforts focused on relief, assistance, and rebuilding.
"The Phoenix Asheville is a place to step away from the noise and reconnect with yourself, your purpose, and what truly matters to your wellbeing," added Ralls. "Through thoughtfully curated retreats, we provide a space for meaningful rest, reflection, and growth where guests have the tools and support to return to life with more clarity, balance, and a deeper sense of inner wealth."
The Phoenix Asheville is opening its doors this season with a full lineup of retreats designed to support personal growth, healing, and conscious leadership. This season, The Phoenix Asheville will host a series of powerful experiences for individuals, leaders, and teams seeking deeper connection, clarity, and well-being. The programs are designed to meet individuals at their current level of well-being, offering tools and insights that create lasting change.
