Wow! I’m still living on cloud nine after this weekend’s epic TERRASongwriting retreat at RiverMountain! Spending a whole weekend dedicated to our craft, surrounded by such supportive creatives, I felt empowered and accepted. I learned how to listen and truly collaborate. My cowriters and I created songs I’m proud of and can’t wait to share one day.
But I also learned so much from being present for others’ breakthroughs and celebrating each other’s successes. Having professionals I admire treat me like their equal and call out my strengths, I felt confident and courageous enough to step into creating and sharing our songs without hesitation. I can’t wait to see where this musical journey of mine continues to lead, and I’m so lucky to have found such a safe and welcoming tribe to belong to as I continue to explore, experiment and play with music!

bringing the energy of the 💜 to my head. did you know that ANY pose in which your heart is higher from the ground than your head is considered an 𝗜𝗡𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗦𝗜𝗢𝗡 posture?
Fun tidbits about 𝗜𝗡𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗦𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦:
• they can be intimidating but even a forward fold and downward dog are inversions!
• inversions bring blood flow to the heart where it’s then sent to the lungs to be oxygenated. this can help lower the heart rate and result in better uptake of oxygen into the blood.
• going upside down can reduce fatigue and increase energy !
•inversions such as headstand, forearm balance (shown here) and handstand improve focus, balance, and strength. it takes great mind-body awareness & strength to hold the body in a stretched position against the force of gravity.
do you practice inversions?

They take such thoughtful care of everything! River Mountain is a gem. I love true roughing it camping so I wondered if this might not do for me. I was wonderfully proven wrong! To head into the woods without having to think much about food or gear is incredible! The food was excellent, plentiful, and easily gotten. The location is pure magic - woods, a creek, a meadow - so you can see stars, hear tons of birds, take great hikes. and listen to a burbling stream. The staff were terrific - present, resourceful, helpful, then vanishing like magic! It’s complete luxury to have your own bathroom regardless of what style of accommodation you choose plus spotless, private, hot showers! Amazing! Even in the rain this was a tonic - so relaxing and super fun. I can’t wait to go again!

This place is like a meditation hideaway, a nature retreat and an oasis from the noise of life. Such a utopia.....i think those are the best ways to describe this place. My fiance and I love it so much we are making it a regular getaway. The caretakers of property and guests make you feel like family and welcome you with open arms. 10star rating on our part!

Just left and had to write a review right away! What a fantastic getaway for the family. Location is unbelievable, think Nottingham first meets hunger games meets a sci-fi wonderland. We rented a full cabin so we had plenty of space and beds, but next time coming back for the tipis which looked super cool. The team was so nice, fun and helpful. Made us feel at home in the forest. And the BBQ grilling was perfect. Highly recommend all around!

Near D.C., Baltimore & Pittsburgh -- Yet a World Away
River Mountain is located between Bedford, Pennsylvania, and Cumberland, Maryland, in the heart of the Allegheny Mountains. Our property is secluded and remote, yet easily accessible from the city.
Your Hosts
This endeavor started a couple years back. We caught ourselves spending too much time at the office and not enough time doing what we love -- being outdoors doing cool things with cool people. Our team is here to deliver a great experience -- comfortable, safe, secure, helpful, welcoming, and unforgettable. We look forward to your visit and hope River Mountain becomes a second home for you, just like it has for us.
