Welcome!

Bridge Between the Worlds is a center for powerful pathways to healing, restoration, and connection with essence of spirit, with a focus on Transformational Healing work with Margaretta McIlvaine. 

The retreat center is nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia and is open throughout the year. Our 20-acre site is hidden in the woods by a lake, offering many ways to enjoy and connect with the natural world.

To foster restoration, we suggest walking our many wooded paths, canoeing, using the infrared sauna and hot tub, and bringing awareness to the wise and mystical energies that abound.

We have the most amazing energy healer right here in town. She is the REAL deal and I have the utmost respect for her and recommend her without reservation. I hope you might be intrigued enough to have the opportunity to work with her. I feel confident you will be delighted if you do. It is one of the most amazing things I have ever experienced in my life..
