Retreats at HeartGate Center

Retreats are a major focus at HeartGate, providing the mentorship and support from Elle to delve deeply into the great experience of Being. With each type of retreat the students are able to focus and strengthen their alignment to Source and their specialized purpose for this earth walk. Retreat durations vary. Weekend immersions usually run from 5 p.m. Friday evening until 1 p.m. Sunday. Week-long immersions often begin on a Tuesday or Wednesday evening and run either 5 or 7 days. See our Schedule page for specific details.

Accommodations

HeartGate Sanctuary has two beautiful and spacious dormitory rooms with grand windows. The rooms sleep six in cozy double beds. There are large bathrooms.

If you have special housing needs, please let us know.

Meals

We serve mainly lacto-ovo vegetarian meals (vegan is available).  The meal preparation is a group effort as we all take turns. A variety of grains, fruits and vegetables, dried fruits and nuts are offered. The quality of the food is very high. We have an outstanding collection of teas and gourmet coffee. Beverages include both dairy and non-dairy alternatives such as soy milk, almond milk, and rice milk.

If you have specific dietary restrictions or allergies, please let us know in advance, or bring your own supplies.

Ashram Showers

As part of our planetary responsibility, we take ashram showers which involve getting wet, turning the water off while you shampoo and soap, then back on for rinse. Extra shower water is conserved for watering plants.
