The scenic remote village of Ocracoke is located within the Cape Hatteras National Seashore on North Carolina's Outer Banks. Sixteen miles of undeveloped beach make Ocracoke Island an ideal location for a retreat. The natural wonder of the island with the spiritual and intellectual aspects of an Island Path event will create a memorable visit. An Island Path visit is more than a vacation and more than a workshop.  It is a way to change your life.
