What to Expect

Immersed in the sights and sounds of nature, the setting lends itself to reading, journaling and quiet reflection. It is hoped that retreatants will find peace and spiritual renewal in the solitude, perhaps in the new gazebo — away from the distractions of telephone, radio and television. You need to bring only your own food.

Reservations

Retreatants typically stay 2-3 days, however some have come for just one day and others may stay up to 7 days [which is our maximum]. If you have not made a spiritual retreat before please see our A Retreat Guide for First-Time Retreatants. Check-in Arrivals are between 8:30 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. (or 4:30 p.m., before dark, in Winter).

While there is no charge for use of our retreat facilities, we welcome tax-deductible donations for continuing our ministry.

The Retreat Center consists of two hermitage settings for adults — one on either floor within one building. Each level has two private rooms for sleeping, prayer and reading, as well as a kitchen and bathroom. Retreatants are expected to bring their own food for their retreat time. The kitchen is complete with dishes and utensils. Bed linens and bath towels are also provided. The center can also be used by a small group.

The Rustic Hermitage consists of four modules within a 16 square foot area for sleeping, praying, cooking and writing. It has an environmentally friendly chemical toilet, electricity, air conditioner, and heat, and water supplied by thermos. Built in 2010, it is a cozy and set apart space intended for one person in retreat. Simple utensils, bed linens and towel are provided.
