Individuals seeking self-directed time apart for solitude, rest, and prayer may schedule a private retreat Based on availability. The best time is during our Directed Retreats. (See Calendar for dates).

and walking trails.

Guidelines for Private Retreats
We’ve created some guidelines to
help orient you to the Center schedule. We pray that our hospitality and the Center’s resources
will help make your retreat meaningful.
-
Arrival: Because we want to greet you personally, it helps us greatly if you arrive as close as possible to the time listed on your confirmation form. If you will be late, please call and let us know. Please park behind the building and use the back entrance.
-
Silence: Some private retreatants prefer silence, others prefer the opportunity for conversation. Let us know your preference when you arrive, and we will respect your choice. If there is a group in the house and you wish to eat in silence, feel welcome to take your food and eat on the snack room side of the dining room. We ask that all groups/individuals maintain silence on the bedroom floor in respect for others who may be in silence at the Center.
-
Dietary Needs: Our buffet offers healthful, balanced, and diverse options. If you are have food allergies or are on a restricted diet due to a medical condition, please write those restrictions clearly on the confirmation form. If you have specific dietary preferences, please feel welcome to supplement our buffet choices with food brought from home.
-
