A Place of Peace and Renewal

The 38 acres of woods, rolling hills and lakefront and the 40 room Georgian estate provide the setting and accommodations for you or your group.

The idea of a retreat is nothing new or radical. The impulse to retire from the confusion of complex life, to break away from well-worn habit, to escape the demands of ordinary life and to seek a place apart to rest, reflect and renew has always lain at the heart of the spiritual journey.
Within the Judeo-Christian tradition, we see how Jesus often withdrew to a quiet place to pray and urged his disciples to go apart and reflect about their mission.
Time away to look back and remember is one of the best ways to catch a glimpse of the activity of God, to discover the meaning of life's experiences, to find hints of new directions.
Making a retreat, like most spiritual experiences, is a journey into solitude, then back into the human circle.

The Empty Bell is a sanctuary for the study and practice of Christian meditation and prayer, giving special attention to the Christian-Buddhist dialogue. Our purpose is to learn the history and practice of the Christian contemplative path as it is rooted in the Hebrew and Christian scriptures, and to explore its common ground with other faiths. We cultivate artistic expressions of spiritual insight, and seek ways to embody these insights in compassionate social, environmental and political action.

Awareness Meditation Retreats
With Donna Mitchell-Moniak
 Awareness meditation is a new, practical, effective, and immediately accessible form of meditation. We expand breath and refine our senses while holding an asana of deep inner silence. Awareness meditation offers a unique experience of heart and being. Heart-mind is taken beyond concept to lived luminescence. All levels of meditative practice welcome.
