Silent retreats form the heart of life at Springwater. Open to all, the retreat format has evolved over the years into an innovative and interactive form, which people have come to love. Grounded in the daily rhythm of timed sittings, a morning talk, and an hour-long work period with communally prepared food, people are free to conduct their retreat in any way they choose.
Our silent meditation retreats are unique. We have a nontraditional approach with no rituals, required beliefs, or assigned practices. The only requirements are to participate in silence, and to do one’s assigned job. With the miles of secluded trails, outdoor lawn space, and comfortable spaces throughout the retreat building, people feel free to meditate and walk by themselves, or to sit together with others.
Located an hour south of Rochester, New York, Springwater Center offers silent meditation retreats in a beautiful and spacious facility on 212 acres of country land with streams, meadows, forests, a pond, and miles of walking trails. There are no rituals, required beliefs, or assigned practices.
