for your time at a hermitage
WHO COMES TO A HERMITAGE?
- Individuals who are in transition in their lives and discerning the next step in their journeys;
- Those searching to deepen their faith life with extra quiet time.
- Religious women and men, lay and ordained ministers, rabbis, people in healing professions, educators, writers and others who need time away from their very busy lives of service.
- Persons who feel something is missing—or are experiencing emptiness—and want to explore ways to live a more caring and fulfilling life.
- Persons who like to meditate in peace.
- Artists who are looking for a time of creativity without interruptions.
