“Let all guests coming to the monastery be received as Christ himself.” This injunction from the Rule of St Benedict inspires us to welcome everyone who comes to the monastery.
For those who wish a longer immersion in the
monastic atmosphere of silence and prayer, we offer the possibility of private retreats in our two guest cottages for a stay of a few days or up to one week in duration.
The retreat cabins are not available from Thanksgiving until Easter.
Reservations may be made by letter or by email: retreats@olamonastery.org.
Offerings are on a free will basis according to means;we do ask a $40 non-refundable deposit to assure the space for you. We also request a referral from a pastor or spiritual guide for first-time retreatants.
Chaperones are required for mixed groups where participants are less than 21 years of age.
We will ask you to tidy up the cabin before leaving.
