Reconnect, rest, and renew

Come and savor the stillness of the Forest, drinking from the wellsprings of the great spiritual traditions. You’ll be welcomed by contemplative silence and a resident community who lives simply and offers hospitality to all who seek a deeper spiritual practice. Enter your own beautifully thoughtful forest sanctuary that is restful, tender, and inspiring; a place away from the noise of life, so that you can gain your bearings, reflect, and renew.

Experience the beauty and privacy of 45 wooded acres on a ridge between Keystone Lake and Shell Lake, just 20 minutes from downtown Tulsa. We offer a woodland labyrinth, a Zen Garden, a Cave of the Mothers meditation chamber, and nearly three miles of hiking trails with beautiful views. You’ll find many peaceful places for prayer and meditation. Read more about our grounds here.

Nourish the body

Rest and recharge your body by walking our forest labyrinth or hiking our trails in mindful movement. Raking the Zen garden under the canopy of trees stills your body and mind. You can also sit and rest in stillness, whether on a bench under the trees or in one of our indoor meditation spaces. Our home-cooked, healthy meals heal your body with love.

Nourish the mind

Give yourself space to quiet your mind in one of our many indoor and outdoor areas. Meditate in a beautiful chapel with large windows looking out into the woods or in the underground Cave of the Mothers meditation chamber, which holds you safely in a dark, quiet place. Our well-rounded library will also feed and uplift your intellect.

Nourish the spirit

The quiet peacefulness of our grounds allows one to go inward and reconnect with the self and the divine. Whether it’s communing with the forest deer or simply taking in the sounds of the forest, your spirit will feel refreshed and renewed. Our spiritual directors can also sit alongside you and act as a companion on your spiritual journey.

"The rhythms of prayer, meditation and community were beautiful and allowed my spirit to soar. My time of discernment was uncomplicated by outside and interior distractions. Sacred silence to hear the whisperings of God everywhere."

"Peace was evident from the onset. There are many ways to settle into what anyone is seeking, whether through silence, solitude, hiking, labyrinth, cave meditation, common meals, chapel, or the Zen garden."
