There are two cozy, well-appointed, neighboring homes that host our retreats. You'll have all the comforts of home, while in your immersive retreat experience.

Kitchens, bathrooms, and common areas are shared with fellow participants, giving you the opportunity to more deeply connect, and inspire one another! The homes are nestled into beautiful, peaceful, natural surroundings. Plenty of space to wander outdoors. Fire pits, gardens, meadows, a trail to the river, and more.

Mission & Vision

Open Heart School is dedicated to discovering innovative and meaningful ways of living, learning and healing.

More than a beautiful, peaceful sanctuary, we are a center for an evolving culture of wellness sustained through connections with Nature, with each other through community, and with our own inner wisdom.

We have no religious or political affiliation; rather, we are part of humanity’s awakening to a culture of respect and inclusiveness for all love-based religions, traditions, cultures and ways of being. We draw wisdom from the teachings of RA through the channeled works called the Law of One.
