Reflections offered by Dwelling “Hermits”:

"The Dwelling is the perfect place for me to do what I so need to do, leave the world behind and find the quiet place inside of me." Scott

"I love The Dwelling.
I have been coming for over 14 years and I can’t imagine not returning each year to the place where I can just be.
Each time I leave refreshed in body, mind, and spirit. It is truly a blessed space.
The beauty of the natural setting, the warm, caring people, and the hermitage that is like a safe, warm cocoon – it all nourishes the soul.
I’ll be back again next year.
Or, maybe sooner." Mary

"I am grateful for the gift of The Dwelling to my mind, body and spirit.
What is more necessary in a culture that values busyness than a place like The Dwelling." Jean

" My first visit to The Dwelling was in January 2005.
When I told my daughter that I was coming back again this week, she said, “Oh, mom! I’m so glad you are going back there.
You were so happy when you came back last time.” A Hermit

"On my first trip to The Dwelling I walked into the hermitage and said, “ I’ve been waiting all my life to come here!” Sandy

"An amazing experience in a place full of beautiful energy and endless love.
The love is present in every detail, every nook and cranny of the hermitage.
I was able to listen to the silence, while feeling the love and caring.
It helped me reach into my core and find the entrance to the path I’ve been looking for." Jack

"The Dwelling is a place to come to learn who we are. God bless this place." Faye

“Please accept this donation as a token of my huge gratitude for all that I received during my two-night stay at The Dwelling.
I returned to my life renewed and filled to the brim.
What this amazing place (and you amazing women) provides is truly an oasis of spirit and love in this soul-eating world where most of us live.
I don’t know if I have ever felt so cared for in body and spirit while on retreat.
It was a profound experience and one that I will carry with me.
It is so clear the importance of the work you do.
You literally are keepers of the well from which we all must come and rest at on our life’s journey." A Hermit

"It is imperative that our world supports this work you do and my prayer is that this little bit multiply by a thousand fold.” A Hermit
