Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic we are not currently offering spaces for groups to meet. We continue to accomodate individual retreats.
Pathways offers a variety of retreat spaces for individuals and small groups in the retreat house.
Group Retreats
Pathways offers day retreat space to groups that seek a prayerful place to meet. Perhaps your small group, pastoral team, planning committee or board would like to meet in a place that provides a contemplative atmosphere for listening and learning together. See below for room descriptions.
Group retreat rates vary depending on group size, rooms reserved, intended use, and length of retreat.
Click here for our standard group rates or contact Pathways for more information.
Individual Retreats

Suggested donation for individual retreats:
Half-day: $15-20*
Full-day: $30-40*
For guided retreats with a contemplative focus, please contact Pathways Retreat for rates and information.
Please note that we are a day retreat center and do not provide overnight accommodations in the retreat house.

Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.
