PRIVATE RETREAT WEEK

August 26-September 2, 2024

Come to the farm for a private spiritual or creative retreat. During Retreat Weeks, all facilities of the farm are open to you. Take the time for meditation, yoga, qigong, T’ai Chi, walking in the forest, swimming in the river, quiet reading, art making or whatever else you need to fill your spirit.

During your stay, there may be additional daily offerings such as group meditation or yanghseng/qigong practice, river trips, hikes, and tea, which you can attend or not. If requested, private spiritual counseling or direction will be available through Three Mountains or The Daoist Foundation for an extra donation-based fee.

Retreat attendees can choose a barn room or cabin, and will have access to the communal kitchen. Coffee and tea will be provided, as well as some other staples, but attendees will be responsible for their own food. You can stay for the whole week or just a portion of it.

This is time for YOU. There may be other Retreat participants, but you can choose if you want to interact or not.

• FEE: $80/day or $500/week, includes single room, access to all facilities and kitchen, daily optional offerings.
