for your time at a hermitage
WHO COMES TO A HERMITAGE?

- 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 like to meditate in peace.
- Artists who are looking for a time of creativity without interruptions.
