SOLO HERMITAGE RETREAT
August 1 - 6 **$450

We are very excited to be offering a new retreat format this summer:
the opportunity to spend a week on the mountain in a supportive but non-structured silent environment.

It is a week to be with yourself, perhaps your loved one, and a small group of other hermits to pause, rest, walk, and wander both the internal and outer landscapes. Rose Mountain is a rare place of deep silence and natural beauty. For one week this summer, we would like to offer to you the mountain itself as teacher.

With the exception of meals and an offering of morning meditation, there will be no predetermined schedule, no external structure, only the freedom and creativity of solitude and silence.

Delicious and abundant vegetarian meals will be prepared by our professional cooking staff. An optional morning movement session and a few evening programs will also be offered. Staff will be available to listen heartfully to anyone seeking spiritual direction. And on our final evening together, there will be a celebratory gathering, offered as an opportunity to mindfully break your silence in the company of others.

We anticipate this being a popular retreat, so you may want to register early. A deposit of $200 is required to hold your spot.
For registration, and for more information on this unique Rose Mountain offering, call Marilyn at (504) 610-3672, or email her at: : marilynyank@gmail.com
