We invite you to join us for a weekend of silence at the Forest on your own personal overnight retreat. The entire Forest will be in silence, including all meals.
During a personal retreat, you structure your own time and select for yourself how best to be present to the Sacred. You can take time to be alone and read, journal, sit in silence, walk in the woods, be creative, or whatever calls to you. On personal retreat, you are free to join our community in our daily sitting meditation times (Thursday through Saturday at 7:00am, noon and 4:30pm, and Sunday at 9:00am) or to spend your time in solitude. Each night you book with us comes with three meals: a light dinner (the night you arrive), self-serve silent breakfast, and lunch.
For the silent weekend, you are welcome to join the meals in group silence, or to take your meals to your cabin to eat in solitude.
Join us for a special book launch and benefit event for One + Heart: The Story of the Osage Monastery Forest of Peace on June 2!
