Solo Overnight Retreat

Solo Overnight Retreat

We welcome individuals seeking a self-guided retreat focused on spiritual growth and renewal for one night or several.

Overnight retreatants are guests of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Peace, who reside here at St. Mary-on-the-Lake. A retreat offers a sacred time and space to step away from the noise and busyness of daily life, allowing you to return to the source of inner peace and renewed commitment. It is an opportunity to refocus and reconnect within the embrace of divine love.

Accommodations
Guests enjoy private bedrooms and access to shared common spaces within the guest accommodations. Meals are offered through the Sisters’ dining room, with a designated space reserved for retreatants to dine peacefully in the family room. The common spaces may also include a tearoom equipped with a refrigerator, sink, microwave, and dining table for your convenience.

Grounds
Our serene 11-acre grounds feature a prayer labyrinth, various walking trails including a Peace Path through the woods, a Meditation Garden, the Virgin Mary’s grotto, and a dock on Lake Washington. Guests may also reflect in the chapel or enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of our library.
