Weekday stays (Monday–Friday) require a two-night minimum.

During the week, the Forest does not provide catered meals. These cabins are equipped for preparing simple meals yourself. You may also use the Main House kitchen, with prior notice to the staff. Guests will need to provide their own food; coffee, tea, sweeteners, creamer, salt and pepper provided. There are grocery stores in Sand Springs (just a 15 minute drive) for any items that might be needed last minute.

The meditation chapel is open 24 hours, and some communal interfaith meditation times may take place, depending on staff availability. Attendance at any community meditations is encouraged, but not required. The Forest is a quiet retreat environment; we ask guests to honor the contemplative atmosphere of the grounds.

Spiritual direction with our executive director or another qualified spiritual director is available upon request for an additional fee. We may also arrange a session with our reiki practitioner for a fee as well.

Weekday overnight guests may check in after 1:30 p.m. If you plan to arrive later than 5:30 p.m., please let us know ahead of time so that someone can be available to get you checked in.  Check-out on the last day is at Noon.

Cost: $100/night for a single person; each additional occupant is $85/night.
Clergy Discount: Clergy, with a letter from their congregation or faith community, may receive one complimentary night with a two-night minimum stay. (Valid for weekday stays; one complimentary night per stay.)
