Welcome to The Abode
Providing a sanctuary for the human spirit that is honored by a loving community in harmony with nature
Our Mission
The Abode is a retreat center and sanctuary, promoting collective and individual discovery through meaningful experiences and opportunities for growth. We serve the well-being of others, by offering classes, retreats and gatherings that create a time to pause and reflect with guidance from sacred teachings, creative process, Earth based initiatives and contemplation
We Offer Community Programs, Events, Rentals, Private Retreats & Sunday Interfaith Services
There is so much possibility here on our 300+ acres! You can participate in a retreat, take a class, join us for Sunday Workship, Sunday Brunch or book a space for hosting your own program!
Enjoy all the Abode has to offer and return to the world refreshed and renewed.
You can book a stay for a large group, visit the Abode for the day, or look to our current offerings. However you wish to be a part of the Abode, make it your own sanctuary
“While I hope that some of the skills and meditations that I have presented will be helpful to you, they are useful only as a ladder in attaining the essential objective—awakening consciousness and conscience in everyday life.”
