About this Retreat
Details of this retreat
Personal Overnight Retreat Weekend
Please select the number of occupants in the cabin when making your cabin selection. For group rates and availability on more than two cabins, please email us.
During a personal retreat, you structure your own time and select for yourself how best to be present to the Sacred. You can take time to be alone and read, journal, sit in silence, walk in the woods, be creative, or whatever calls to you. On personal retreat, you are free to join our community in our daily sitting meditation times (Thursday through Saturday at 7:00am, noon and 4:30pm, and Sunday at 9:00am) or to spend your time in solitude. Each night you book with us comes with three meals: a light dinner (the night you arrive), self-serve silent breakfast, and lunch.
Spiritual Direction/Companion Sessions
You may wish to add a private session with one of our spiritual directors or companions. These trained individuals provide spiritual guidance and companionship to those seeking to deepen their spiritual life. The cost for a one-hour session is on a sliding scale from $40 to $80 paid directly to the provider by cash or check. If you would like to schedule a session for spiritual direction, please notify our staff, no later than one week in advance sending an email.
