Weekday Hermitage Retreats

Step away from the noise and enter a space of quiet, prayer, and rest.

Spend some time away in the Forest in one of our three hermitage-style cabins: Brigid, Subiaco, or Guadalupe. Each hermitage cabin has two rooms. Cabins contain:

• Two twin beds–pillows and linens included
• Desk and chair
• Couch or Futon (may also be used as a third bed) and chair
• Refrigerator
• Hot plate
• Toaster Oven

• Dish washing supplies
• Sink (kitchen sink in Subiaco, bathroom sink in Brigid and Guadalupe)

  • Sink
  • Toilet
  • Shower

Amenities may vary by cabin.

For your comfort and convenience:

• Heating/Air Conditioning
• WIFI service available throughout the grounds
• Most major cell phone carriers receive good reception
• 24 hour staff on site
• Parking located in the middle of the property, and we have carts that can be used to take your belongings to your cabin

Weekday stays (Monday–Friday) require a two-night minimum.

During the week, the Forest does not provide catered meals. These cabins are equipped for preparing simple meals yourself. You may also use the Main House kitchen, with prior notice to the staff. Guests will need to provide their own food; coffee, tea, sweeteners, creamer, salt and pepper provided. There are grocery stores in Sand Springs (just a 15 minute drive) for any items that might be needed last minute.

The meditation chapel is open 24 hours, and some communal interfaith meditation times may take place, depending on staff availability. Attendance at any community meditations is encouraged, but not required. The Forest is a quiet retreat environment; we ask guests to honor the contemplative atmosphere of the grounds.

Spiritual direction with our executive director or another qualified spiritual director is available upon request for an additional fee. We may also arrange a session with our reiki practitioner for a fee as well.

Weekday overnight guests may check in after 1:30 p.m. If you plan to arrive later than 5:30 p.m., please let us know ahead of time so that someone can be available to get you checked in.  Check-out on the last day is at Noon.

Cost: $100/night for a single person; each additional occupant is $85/night.
Clergy Discount: Clergy, with a letter from their congregation or faith community, may receive one complimentary night with a two-night minimum stay. (Valid for weekday stays; one complimentary night per stay.)
