Generous Hospitality

We are filled with gratitude for our time at Oranbega! We renewed our spirits and our bodies thanks to the spiritual flow of the day and the grace of generous hospitality. We have held this sacred ground close to our hearts and hopefully bring gifts and blessings onward with us as we lovingly, tenderly and gently let go.

Highly Recommend

I really enjoyed my stay at the Oranbega Retreat Center. I felt privileged to be able to concentrate in silence in a comfortable chair in a beautiful room and blot everything out, just work. Oranbega Retreat Center is an old house that seems new. Once inside you arestruck by the beautiful and artistic way it is furnished, and you can feel the appreciation of and devotion to the arts that pervades the atmosphere. And the people there are calm, nourishing, and alive to art and beauty of all kinds. The meals and discussions helped give me the strength to sit alone in my room for hours and write, just write. I highly recommend the Oranbega Retreat Center.

Perfect

Thank you so much for your hospitality and generosity during my spiritual retreat. There was time and space and peace and ease that allowed me to deepen my meditation practice. The liminal time between seasons and before the birth of the New Year was perfect for cultivating the relations with the in-between spaces inside. I felt blessed and supported. Much gratitude!
