GATHER
Our 46-seat main hall is ideal for small corporate and community groups. Tables can be arranged to support facilitated learning, group activities and shared meals. Our 20-bed lodge, with adjoining bathrooms, means groups can stay on-site for the duration of their booking.
CREATE
On themes of inclusiveness, we welcome groups to learn and create together. Regardless of why you visit our center, we hope you will leave rested and reflective. (And, of course, eager to return!)
DISCONNECT
Our facility offers limited technology, allowing visitors a space to reconnect and unwind. This can be a powerful experience - one that fosters human connectedness, listening and learning.
REDEFINING "RETREAT"
The Retreat Centre and land was obtained in 2009 by Universal Rehabilitation Service (URSA) with the single purpose to create a retreat space where all individuals, regardless of abilities, can experience the beauty of a relaxing and calming retreat. URSA has welcomed individuals with developmental disabilities and their families with a space specially designed to suit their needs.
To cover the cost of the centre, and to ensure that we can continue to make our space available to all, we invite groups who share our values of inclusiveness to visit and rent our centre for private bookings.
