Welcome to Spirit Mountain Retreat

---

Dear Friends of Spirit Mountain Retreat,

The year 2022 has been an interesting year, recuperating from the years of fire, flood, and pandemic adventures, but we have been up to the challenge.  With your support and your always welcome participation, we're still here and thriving.

During the months of January, February, and March, we will not be offering private individual retreats in the Main House.  The weather is so unpredictable and the Main House is difficult to keep heated during the extreme cold.  However, if a group is interested in coming to use the Main House for a group retreat, please let us know and we'll be happy to talk with you and see if we can make it happen.

It is with great pleasure that we will be offering a few special events during the coming months:
