Farmhouse Kindness in Nature's Sanctuary
Leave your frenzy at the gate.

Gathering Place

Are you making plans or making merry? Centering Porch is a great place to gather. All kinds of groups discover new community dynamics here and generate terrific ideas. The indoor meeting and party space accommodates groups up to 12. Our outdoor space is expansive. We have seating for 25 but you can add more!

Contemplative Retreat

Centering Porch welcomes guests who come on spiritual retreat. To assure your privacy, we take no more than two guests at one time for a spiritual retreat and they must register together. We offer quiet, sacred space for spiritual practice and solitude. Please let us know if you wish to have a silent retreat. Follow the pathways through oak savannah to the water’s edge. Absorb the wisdom of ancient trees. Explore the gardens and farmscape. Delight in enough birds to make your heart sing. Guests can also relax in indoor space including two sitting rooms, private bath and kitchen. Two porches, east and west, are exclusively yours. Centering Porch is nondenominational. All who come in peace are welcome.

Creative Wellspring

Writers, musicians, painters and many other artists spark new ideas here. Nature’s quiet songs inspire fresh ways of thinking and being. Be open. Give yourself the gifts of hospitality and sanctuary. See what springs forth.
