What We Offer

Retreat Spaces:

Cedar Cross offers retreat space for groups and individuals, and can accommodate both day use and overnight stays. In addition to the main lodge, we have two fully-equipped cottages, an art studio, and a loft space for daytime use by individuals and small groups. For more details, and photos of our retreat spaces, see our Facilities page and Virtual Tour.

Grounds:

Our 52 acre property includes four miles of walking trails, with many inviting places to sit and think, pray, or contemplate the natural world. We also have two meditative walks: a Labyrinth and the Way of Jesus. Written suggestions are available to help make these walks more meaningful.
