Our Community
Body Therapy Institute is located in the heart of North Carolina’s Piedmont region, in the 250-year old Chatham County farming community of Silk Hope. Ideally situated between the Raleigh / Durham / Chapel Hill Triangle and the Greensboro / Winston-Salem / High Point Triad, the school is close to major universities and medical centers, cultural events and an abundance of artistic and recreational resources. The Atlantic Ocean is just a few hours to the East, and the Blue Ridge Mountains are a short distance to the West.

Educational Facilities
Our Classroom Building was designed from the ground up to serve the needs of our students and faculty. It is a breathtaking timberframe structure with country-style porches that look out over an expansive meadow and serene pond. Colorful gardens surround the building and delight the senses. The classroom features hardwood floors, a cathedral ceiling and natural light everywhere. The library provides a quiet place to read or study. Both levels of the building are handicapped-accessible.

The Natural World
In a world with increasing levels of noise, pollution and stress, South Wind Farm is an oasis of peace and restorative energy. We are dedicated to preserving open space for the deep instinctual needs everyone has for contact with the natural world. Traditional cultures have revered the healing power of nature; today, research studies have confirmed that isolation from nature can depress the immune system and even cause illness.

In addition to serving our human friends, the farm also provides an important habitat for native species, such as white-tail deer, fox, racoon, wild turkey, owls, red-tailed hawks, and a great variety of other flora and fauna.

BTI School Store
When you’re here for a workshop, be sure to visit our wonderful school store. It features an inspiring selection of books, CD’s, massage supplies, essential oils, cards & calendars, local crafts, plus drinks & snacks. Reminiscent of an old country store, it has a porch with rocking chairs that looks out at the Classroom Building and gardens.
