Come for a day or a week. Take home a lasting sense of tranquility. We offer a variety of retreats and programs for individuals, families and groups. Eat organic food fresh from our farm, wander the forest trails of our extensive grounds, enjoy a massage at our on-site wellness centre, join our community events, or just bring a good book and enjoy the silence.

Each season we host a series of topical weekend retreats and other programs.
