Six "AT" style Shelters are available (at no extra charge) as an alternative to pitching a tent. The climate controlled bathrooms with hot showers are a short walk away at the Powell River Pavilion.
Retreat Meals
For retreats, full Service vegetarian and/or non-vegetarian meals are prepared and served fresh in our licensed commercial kitchen. Our acclaimed meals are mostly organic and gluten-free and they are freshly prepared. In the Summer months, much of the fresh produce comes from our organically tended garden. Assorted herbal and black teas, coffee, fruits, and snacks are available throughout the day. Click here for a more detailed information on Meals
