Information for people attending a retreat
We provide comfortable mattresses, blankets and pillows. Please bring your own bed linens (double beds) or sleeping bag, pillowcase, and towel. All indoor rooms are spacious shared dorm rooms with each bed having some privacy.
For couples or those needing more privacy we have two small unheated cabins without electricity, the Mouse House and Cob House, and a large Tipi, available May - October. We do not reserve spaces ahead of time, however, you may discuss your personal needs with your retreat leader. You may also set up your own tent.We cannot accommodate children or pets. We have no laundry facility and cannot receive mail or e-mail for you here.
Our neighbors are very sensitive to traffic on our road so we ask that you sleep here, carpool whenever possible, and not arrive or use the road after 10p.m. or before 7a.m. The retreat center maintains quiet hours indoors and out from 10:PM to 7AM, and we do not allow alcohol, meat, or fish to be brought here.
The barn preparation team needs to have the barn to ourselves until the designated time for arrival of your retreat. We ask that no one come into the main building for any reason before 4p.m. on the day your retreat begins, unless your leader has negotiated an earlier arrival time with us. If you are not sure of your designated arrival time please check with your leader.
Our kitchen serves vegetarian food using local and organic when possible, with non-dairy options available each meal. If you have a restricted diet please contact us ahead of your retreat and we will do our best to accommodate your needs. You can bring your own precooked food if you are concerned about having enough to eat. We have no cooking facilities available to you. We do not serve coffee, but do have coffee makers if you want to bring your own.
