ENJOY YOUR OWN PERSONAL OR GROUP RETREAT at AMETHYST
Amethyst Retreat Center is one of those unique places in the world where the veil is thin and tranquility comes over you as you drive up the lane. While you are on retreat, wake up to the sunrise and walk or hike through the meadow, along the woods or down by the stream on our 144 acres of undeveloped land. Sit quietly observing nature and come back home to your own heart and true self. Walk the Labyrinth. End your day sitting by the outdoor fire pit. Expect to see an abundance of wildlife - wild turkey, deer, possums, hawks and an abundance of songbirds. Did we mention that the sunsets and the night star shine are amazing!
Amethyst Retreat Center is the perfect sacred space to enjoy retreat in the sanctuary of Nature and there are so many reasons to begin planning your personal retreat. Come on your own or bring friends with you.

The entrance onto the beautiful Susquehanna River is only 10 minutes away. Bring your kayak, canoe or inner tube for some time on the water and be picked up later near Dauphin or Harrisburg.

We have mountain bike trails, walking paths, and hiking trails in the forest. Enjoy walking the Labyrinth, picking produce from the vegetable garden, and in season we have a beautifully fragrant lavender field. The rolling hills are great for cross country skiing when the conditions are right.

During your stay, we will be available by phone or text to answer your questions or to provide support if needed. The property is in a rural setting that is quiet with very little artificial light. It is a sanctuary away from the noise and stress of everyday life. Although the property is secluded you can get to the major roadways such as route 11, 322, and 81 very easily. There are a few good diners, a pizza shop and a small grocery store within 10-15 minutes.

For an additional fee, we will provide you with healthy meals during your stay that are specific to your dietary needs and locally sourced/prepared.
