"When you pray, go into your room and shut the door..."
Matthew 6:6
What to Expect
Immersed in the sights and sounds of nature, the setting lends itself to reading, journaling and quiet reflection. It is hoped that retreatants will find peace and spiritual renewal in the solitude - away from the distractions of telephone, radio and television.
Retreat Accommodations
Surrounded by fourteen acres of hardwood forest, the rustic retreat center is located on the shore of Lake Pomme de Terre in the Ozark foothills of south central Missouri.
The retreat center consists of four individual settings (hermitages) - two on each floor - within one building. Each level has two private rooms for sleeping, prayer and reading, as well as a kitchen and bathroom. Retreatants are expected to bring their own food for their retreat time. The kitchen is complete with dishes and utinsels. Bed linens and bath towels are also provided.
A 1/3 mile Stations of the Cross Trail and a Labyrinth are available.
Reservations
