The Retreat Experience
Meditation. Spirituality. Silence. Wellness.
Retreats can be a valuable tool in our self care practice. Dedicated time to focus on your own well being with a supportive group and facilitator can be a time of healing, self reflection and renewal. We offer a variety of retreat options every year from silent meditation retreats in beautiful outdoor settings to one day programs in our own space. Join our newsletter to learn about new offerings and check out our upcoming retreats below!

Reflections from past retreat participants:
“It was such a tender experience to attend the retreat with my wife. Life slows down when there is silence and less frantic activity. Maintaining silence in our room overnight was such a unique experience, allowing a depth of connection not often available in daily life. We enjoyed sharing about it after the retreat.” - Aubrey Ford
‘I thought the instructors were excellent and that the different talks fit perfectly together. I liked how the two days were structured and the balance between the talks and different meditation sessions.’ Meditation Retreat, Spring 2019
‘It helped me reassess some of my decisions and make connections between things from my past and things in my present.’ Women’s Retreat, Spring 2019
