Personal Retreats

At Fern Creek you can breathe with the quiet comings and goings of life in the woods. Space opens for prayer, journaling, reading, rest, study, and contemplation. A trail follows deer paths through the forest (old growth and new), a hammock strung between an oak and maple tree invites one to nap (for about eight months of the year), and benches throughout Fern Creek invite you to come be present--to sit for awhile, aware of what lives and moves and shares this moment and this place with you. 

​

In addition to meandering the woods, orchards, and fields at Fern Creek, the Prayer Cabin can be reserved for two to eight hours at a time (generally on Fridays, Saturdays, and Mondays). Your time can be guided and include spiritual direction or not, and often can include a simple soup lunch to be eaten alone in the cabin if desired. 

The two bedroom guesthouse apartment with a full kitchen and living/study spaces, can be reserved for overnight, weekend or week-long retreats. These can be guided and include spiritual direction, or not.  Up to four individuals wanting to take a retreat together could do so in the guesthouse.
