Silent Retreats
We offer year round, 3, 6 or 9 night silent meditation retreats, in a European style Hermitage. This is a unique experience as only nine individual guests can be on retreat at any one time. We are cultivating gentleness and inner peace. Daily Rhythm Each morning begins with meditation 9-10 am & meditative movement 11-11:30 am. Afternoons are free to rest, walk, practice yoga, journal, have a therapeutic massage and simply enjoy the peace & quiet of the contemplative life. Each evening at 7pm we close the day with a half hour meditation. Heartfulness Meditation The heart is the home of the peace inside of us. In retreat as we let go of our mental activity, we come to the presence in our heart. This presence is our heart essence. Heart essence is the natural state of being that is always within us. Hermitage Photos Resting on a mountaintop, with vistas in all directions, this healing environment is a sanctuary of peace & quiet. We are surrounded by hundreds of acres of beautiful countryside, rolling hills and farmland. Each guest can have a private bedroom. There is a beautiful kitchen to prepare your meals. There are indoor & outdoor meditation & yoga areas, living room, kitchen, fireplace, terraces, hiking trails and Hermitage gardens.
