About the Center:

Penuel Retreat Center is a contemplative, interfaith retreat center set on 135 acres of forest. It's quite private and we'll be the only ones there. There's a main house that has three bedrooms, a sleeping loft, one kitchen and one kitchenette, an open dining room and a main meeting room. It can sleep 16 people in twin beds. The house features an open side deck, a covered smaller side deck, and a backyard patio, all with plenty of seating. There's also a small lake on the property just beyond the yoga house, which is a very sacred space - a round structure of straw bale construction with stucco walls -- it'll be awesome for practice. There's also a fire pit (wood provided) and a labyrinth for meditation.

Overnight rates (per person):

• Bedroom 1 - 2 twin beds: $250/weekend (2 nights)

• Bedroom 2 - 3 twin beds: $240/weekend (2 nights)

• Bedroom 3 - 4 twin beds: $230/weekend (2 nights)

• Sleeping loft - 7 twin beds (or camping**): $215/weekend (2 nights)

**There is plenty of space to pitch a tent -- so, if you'd like to go that route, you're welcome to do so.
