Facilities
Our main building is located on a gentle secluded hill, one-half a kilometre away from our gate. It looks out onto rolling, rural vistas to the south and to the north, is protected by mature woodlands which slope down to Rice Lake, offering secluded on-site nature walks. Rice Lake is relatively shallow, which makes for a longer swimming season.
Completed in 2003, our building consists of three connected “pod” sections. The central section contains the living room, bedrooms, washrooms and mechanicals. All rooms have bamboo or slate floors, high ceilings and large windows. The washrooms have radiant heated floors. There is a second floor balcony and a third floor loft with high ceilings and expansive views. A masonry fire place with a large glass door provides not only effective heat, but a cosy winter atmosphere. Because of sustainability constraints and the fact that we are a retreat centre (not a spa), our accommodation is shared, although retreat leaders get a private master bedroom with en suite washroom.
The western section, which sits atop a hill, is our studio/meeting/meditation hall. Its south facing floor to-ceiling windows give guests the feeling of sitting out in the meadow where they sometimes see deer, foxes or turkeys strolling by. Growing above the studio is a “green roof” which cools the building in summer and insulates it in winter.
The dining room and kitchen are located in the eastern section of the building which looks out over a forested ravine. A small warm solarium off the dining room is ideal for those who enjoy quiet contemplation or reading.
Just outside the building, we have a rock circle fire-pit for bonfires and 100 meters away, there is an insulated cabin which can sleep three, thus bringing our maximum shared accommodation to 22.
Andy James is usually available for shiatsu/ qigong treatments or group instruction in qigong, meditation and more. Prior arrangement is required.
