There used to be a Transcendental Meditation school in Boone (right off the parkway) that was started in the late 90's and was active for several years. It was called the Spiritual Center of America and housed members of the women's Mother Divine Program and the men's Purusha programs, as well as residents and visitors. It was a thriving community complete with it's own school for girls.

What happened to Heavenly Mountain? It closed in 2004 because of a rift between residents and leadership. After that, the school failed and residences were asked to vacate the West campus. The East campus is still occupied but is protected by a gate and a guard 24 hours.

The abandoned west campus has an abandoned temple, buildings, houses and apartments. Trust me, it's creepy. It's completely untouched but deteriorating slowly.

What's it still doing there? Who knows. It was reported in 2011 that a renovation of the area was being planned, but reports of progress are yet to be seen.
