Private Retreats

Private Retreats

A private retreat is a time away.
It is time for you to listen to the voice inside your heart and to reconnect to that which is most sacred to you.

Scheduling and Arrangements
An individual retreat may be scheduled any time of the year, depending on availability. We are typically closed for national holidays and for regularly scheduled maintenance periods. Please note: we will be closed for our annual cleaning August 18 to September 2.
You may select as many meals as you wish in the Retreat Dining Room or you may bring your own food. You are also able to walk the outdoor labyrinth, express yourself through art in the Creativity Room, stroll the beautiful grounds, visit the Bookstore, or find a quiet place to read and reflect. During the summer season, bicycles, blankets, and lawn chairs are available for outdoor use.

Rates
The current cost for a private retreat is $85 per night (please note charges are based per person, not per room). Meals can be ordered through the Retreat Dining Room at an additional cost of $11 for continental breakfast, $16 for lunch, and $14 for dinner.
(Prices adjust September 1, 2024)

The total balance must be paid at time of making reservation (credit card over the phone or check in the mail to arrive prior to retreat start date). Cancellations received more than 10 business days before the scheduled retreat will be responsible for 20% of the overnight room charge. Cancellations received fewer than 10 business days before the scheduled retreat will be responsible for the cost of all meals ordered and 50% of the overnight room charge.

Spiritual Guidance

One-on-one spiritual guidance is a way for you to discern a direction or sort out a life challenge or question. Our spiritual guides are trained to listen deeply to your spiritual journey and reflect back to you what might be surfacing in what you share. Also called “spiritual direction” or “spiritual companioning,” spiritual guidance may be scheduled for a single session or on a recurring basis. Current rates are based on a sliding scale of $40 to $75 per session.

Sabbatical Retreats

At least one hour-long session with a spiritual director is expected each week. Three meals are available daily in the dining room if reserved in advance.
