PERSONAL RETREATS



In the rush of everyday life, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed and disconnected from what truly matters. At Mercy Center Auburn, we offer private retreats to individuals who who seek a sacred space for solitude and personal reflection.

Individuals come for personal retreats for many reasons - - discernment about a major life change, dealing with a loss in life, or just to enjoy a personal respite from the cares of daily life. No matter what leads you here, the beautiful and sacred grounds of Mercy Center Auburn are ideal for contemplating and discerning life's challenges and changes.

While you are on a private retreat, you plan and schedule your own time - - we provide the sacred space and stillness to breathe into the purpose which brought you here. Read, nap, journal, walk the labyrinth, or just spend time on our beautiful grounds in quiet reflection.

Plan your private retreat for a day, overnight, a weekend or longer. Our retreat center rooms provide comfort without distraction. For more information regarding availability and pricing, please contact our office.



For those seeking a more solitary experience, our hermitage, Catherine's Cottage, can be reserved. Catherine's Cottage is a duplex of two single suites that include one queen bedroom and full bathroom (complete with furnishings and linens); living room with a desk, chair and reclining sofa; meditation/prayer space, kitchen with refrigerator, microwave oven and toaster, and an outdoor patio with views of the vast and natural beauty.
