On the Grounds

The Vortex

A vortex is created by spiraling spiritual energy and creates a space to facilitate prayer, meditation and healing. The vortex on site is encircled by a grove of pin oak trees from which the retreat center gets its name. The energy you feel when standing there is palpable to many and is very beneficial.

The Labyrinth

Labyrinths can be found etched into the floors of many old cathedrals in Europe. Our seven circuit outdoor labyrinth is lined with white stone and can be used for a walking meditation; for centering; for quieting the mind; for prayer; for healing; for problem-solving and for connecting with spirit.

The Baby Yurt

This enchanted facility invites the visitor to step into an earthly room of quiet introspection and heavenly personal elevation. In this magical circular cocoon, guests can receive a massage from their host or use the space for meditation, Tai Chi, Qigong, or yoga.

Fire Pits

The dazzling beauty of Innkeeper Tim's bonfires is truly a highlight at the retreat center. An incredible sense of human connectedness moves amongst bonfire gatherers and continues long after the last ember has spent its energy.

Walking Trails

With gently rolling paths on-site, you can enjoy an early morning or late afternoon stroll around our 11 acres. As you walk the trails, you are escorted each step of the way, by a deeply felt sense of peace and serenity.
