Let’s take a trip down to Charlottesville, lying quietly in the center of the Commonwealth of Virginia, just west of the Southwest Mountains, making its home on the Rivanna River. An area well known for Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello, as well as the house of James Monroe, it is also a home to the University of Virginia.
You won’t run out of inspiration in this part of the country. Just take a hike at nearby Shenandoah National Park or drive through the mountains on the Skyline Drive and the Blue Ridge Parkway.
A quiet and peaceful heart is possible through dedicated focus at each stage of our journey.
Charlottesville is a unique city in which to take a lazy stroll, and there’s always plenty to do here. Visitors can check out one of the community theaters downtown, the famous Corner at the hub of university life or attend one of the many summer festivals.
The University, founded by Jefferson, has become an inspired center for learning and creating for larger than life achievers like modernist painter Georgia O’Keeffe, writer Edgar Allan Poe and more recently, the Dave Matthews Band.
