Yesterday I was clever,
so I wanted to change the world.
Today I am wise,
so I am changing myself.
~ Rumi

Rather than a spartan abode, we offer the Forest Hermitage as a place where spiritual sustenance comes in the form of art, beauty, stillness and immersion in nature. We value the sensory and envision the hermit as one focused within, removing distraction in order to deepen into Self. Each well-balanced person has inner resources that often remain untapped. Holding sacred space through stillness, either in solitude or in companionship, is never for ourselves alone, as it ripples out towards planetary healing, liberation and transformation of our global family.

The Spirit Within may emerge as your sole guide while at the Hermitage, or a companion and guide from Turtle Haven Sanctuary is also available to help you initiate and clarify your Inner Tasks, and to offer support during the course of your retreat as you form and track intentions.  A retreat may help you formulate significant questions while leading to graced signposts along a path of inquiry. Perhaps you are initiating a creative project, reconnecting with a significant other, retreating for emotional or spiritual healing or simply needing a peaceful getaway from your daily routines. Revitalized, you may discover deeper wells of joy, strength and peace as you engage again in your everyday life.
