  • Buddhist centres, temples, priories, and monasteries
  • Christian retreat centres, abbeys and monasteries; including monastic communities such as the Jesuit, Oblate and Benedictine communities (includes denominations such as Catholic, Lutheran, Anglican, Baptist, Protestant, Pentecostal, Episcopal, Presbyterian, Methodist, etc.)
  • Eco-wellness and nature-oriented-and-focused centres and retreats
  • Hindu and other ashrams
  • Jewish retreat centres
  • Shaman centres
  • Sufi retreat centres
  • Taoist retreat centres
  • Theosophical retreat centres
  • Non-sectarian, non-denominational, inter-faith community centres and retreats (e.g., Brahma Kumaris, Sri Chimnoy, etc.)

If there is a specific spiritual centre or retreat you have in mind and/or are looking for, or you would appreciate some assistance in narrowing your search or exploring options (based on faith tradition, denomination, community, region, state, province or city), please contact Spiritual Guidance. We will be honored to assist you.
