Venue & Amenities
Our retreat center also has a trail system along wooded bluffs with views of Shell Lake and downtown Tulsa. You can rent a cabin to experience the peaceful setting overnight for your own personal retreat. Our rental rates include three meals a day in our dining room, where you'll eat alongside other guests and residents of our community. The Forest also offers a full range of programs and retreats on meditation and spiritual topics.
You have a range of options to experience meditation in a way that suits you. You might choose to join our resident community for meditation held Tuesday through Saturday at 7:00 a.m., 12:00 noon, or 4:45 p.m., and on Sunday at 9:45 a.m. in our Meditation Chapel. Here you'll experience a meditation of 25 to 45 minutes with others who can help guide you.
Or, you may wish to simply rake the Zen Garden as you contemplate the prayer flags in the trees overhead. If you prefer to move while meditating, walking the labyrinth or hiking the trails will give you a chance to reconnect with nature. The Cave of the Mothers provides you with a dark, quiet place where you will be amazed by the sound of your chanting reverberating all around you.

Mission & Vision
The Osage Forest of Peace is an interspiritual contemplative retreat center, providing sacred space for individual retreats, group retreats, or a day of respite from the busy world. The staff is comprised of a resident community of people from a variety of spiritual and religious backgrounds. We value simplicity, compassion and diverse approaches to the Sacred. Osage Forest of Peace provides an environment that is supportive of all those who desire to engage in "dialogue of the heart" through prayer and meditation.
Come and experience the beauty of 43 wooded acres on a ridge between Keystone Lake and Shell Lake, just 20 minutes from downtown Tulsa. The Forest features nearly three miles of hiking trails with beautiful views, a woodland labyrinth, a Zen Garden, and a Cave of the Mothers meditation chamber. There are many peaceful places for prayer and meditation.
We invite you to come and savor the stillness of the Forest, drinking from the wellsprings of the great spiritual traditions. At the Forest of Peace, you'll be welcomed by contemplative silence and a resident community who lives simply and offers hospitality to all who seek a deeper spiritual practice.
