Tohi Chapel was thoughtfully crafted using 17th century reclaimed wood for the flooring and stone sourced from the Dogwood Falls property. The pews, dating back to the 1950s, have been custom-cut into six intimate benches, each seating two guests, creating a cozy setting. The pathway is made from early 1900's bricks that were collected from historical locations throughout the South.
The chapel is a peaceful, intimate space designed for quiet reflection, heartfelt prayer, and spiritual connection. Whether you're seeking comfort, clarity, or simply a moment of stillness, you're welcome here. The "Prayer Wall", located inside the chapel, invites guests to leave written prayers, expressions of gratitude, or words of encouragement. Prayer tags are provided for sharing personal messages, which can be hung on the wall, creating a shared tapestry of hope and faith for all who visit.
Tohi (pronounced Toe-hee and written as ᏙᎯ in the Cherokee syllabary) is a Cherokee word meaning wellness, peace, serenity, and the ideal state of being. It encompasses a holistic sense of health, including the harmony of mind, body, and spirit. The concept is rooted in the idea that good health is a balance between physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
