Retreat groups are warmly welcomed and will receive the best pricing November through April. Retreats are priced per-person, and room assignments are done by your group. Although we have many fine retreat and seminar leaders in our network, you have your own leaders and agenda. We provide a clean, serene place with sleeping facilities and meals for 15 or 20 (sharing rooms). We help find additional beds at nearby B&Bs and inns if needed. Please see our accommodations listing for more about amenities, but rest assured that vegan/vegetarian, kosher/halaal, or any other specific menu is not a problem. We have indoor function space for yoga, meditation or group sharing in our comfy library. Outdoors are lawns, patios, nooks and glades. Nearby are hiking trails, lakes, rivers, bird sanctuaries and many natural wonders. Newfound Lake is a magical place and our 15 acres of naturalistic gardens, ponds, fields and forests merge into a variety of protected environments. Our home is filled with plants, art, music, books and love. We hope you will come share your positive energy and creativity with us, if it is right for you. Namaste, Sheila and Bill.
