Arrival Information

Personal Retreats are offered for 2 or 3 nights beginning on Thursday or Friday with check-out on Sunday. 2 night minimum. Conducted Weekend Retreats, longer stays, and late arrivals are not offered at this time.

Check-in

Due to our limited staff, we have limited hours for check-in. Our staff is available to welcome you from 2 pm to 4 pm (Thursday and Friday), to allow time for the evening meditation before supper; so please plan to arrive between these hours. If your plans require an earlier or later arrival, please contact us to make arrangements. However, regretfully, we are unable to accommodate arrivals after 6:30 pm. If you are not able to arrive before 6:30 pm, you may need to make alternative lodging arrangements for the night. Then you can check in the next morning.

Check-out

Check-out time is 1 pm on the day of departure.

What to bring

The Retreat provides towels, bed linens, books, devices loaded with inspirational media, cushions, and armrests (used for practice of the SRF Aum technique). Please bring your toiletries and personal headphones.
