The Hermitage

A retreat to the desert creates a space of surrender and acceptance, limits and potential, connection and awe. The Spring House Hermitage is available for a solitary experience.

The Spring House Hermitage

The Spring House Hermitage was the first structure started on the property back in 1997. Completed in July 2009, the Hermitage utilizes the sandstone clifftop as its foundation and floor. The D-shaped stone building comfortably rises from the rock in virtually undisturbed surroundings, giving one the feeling that it is now part of this cliff. Spring House is a solitary hermitage located one mile from the center at the end of the Hermitage Trail.
The Hermitage is available for the length of time beneficial to your spiritual journey. We have had guests spend a quiet afternoon, a star-filled night, and even up to 40 days.
The Hermitage Trail
The Hermitage is modestly equipped with a futon, cabinet, small sitting area, and propane cooking stove. There is no electricity or heat source, water must be brought in, and an outhouse serves as the bathroom facility. We like to call it "glorified camping", and guests seem to love it.

From Our Guests

"The hermitage provided me a close encounter with nature and its sounds, complete solitude and quietness of the busy mind, slowing down of my thoughts, reflection, true enjoyment, and a much needed rest."
"This is my favorite place."
"My time there has been rich in many ways. Because of the silence, I am drawn into noticing very carefully everything around me. It all speaks to me of the Divine Life in which I am immersed."
"I found that time spent in silence at the hermitage is very healing to my soul."
"I got up with the sun and went to bed at dark. Everything fit perfectly, from morning prayer, reading and yoga, to sitting in my chair, just being in the desert."
Foster the whisper of peace in every heart.
