The retreat was beyond my expectations. First of all, the accommodations, the food, and the staff were absolutely wonderful. It was great to have Father with us on this retreat for Mass and for Confession. Finally, the content of the retreat was so helpful from the Centering Prayer experiences to the inspiring chapter readings and sharing. Much gratitude to all of you!!! Margie Melchiore

Great schedules , great leaders. Excellent food

Loved staying in the Barn; did some water coloring; sitting on its “back porch” in the early morn or the evening was heaven. I could just feel Gods presence in the Nature; I wanted to be outside as much as possible. The Centering was deep; loved the readings before each session. Thank you

Title: A truly transformative space for peace and renewal: ​I recently returned from an eight-day silent retreat at Bethany Retreat Center, and I cannot recommend this sacred space highly enough. Located on 140 rolling acres of serene green spaces and beautiful wooded trails, the natural surroundings offer the perfect backdrop for quiet reflection, deep rest, and spiritual renewal. ​The accommodations are excellent—the private rooms are comfortable, well-equipped, and designed to foster peace. Every detail is thoughtfully cared for, including three delicious, nourishing meals provided daily in the main dining room. The environment created by the staff and facilities allowed me to step away fully and experience a truly meaningful silence. I am deeply grateful for my time here and look forward to returning.

I can't say enough about how great this retreat was. The grounds are well kept, thoughtfully laid out and there were plenty of places to walk or hike. The rooms are simple and comfortable. the food was delicious. The most important thing was that I felt an overwhelming peace and acceptance there. It has been over a week since I've been back home and I still experience the inner silence and spaciousness that the retreat gave me. I am so thankful to have experienced the time with the facilitators and fellow retreatants, it really gave me a sense of community and belonging that I rarely experience.
