Community, Events, Programing, Retreats, and Rentals

With forest, gardens, farms and back country roads, there is so much to explore on our 300+ acre historic Shaker site. You can participate in a retreat, take a class, book a room, go for a hike, join us for Sunday brunch, or reserve a space for hosting your own program!

Join us for a digital detox weekend, as we focus on engaging with the nature around us, the ones in our presence, and ourselves. Mornings will start with yoga, with afternoon sessions of meditation. We will learn how to make calendula salve and other
