Simplicity
and Beauty in Community
We welcome contemplative groups looking for a spacious, restful, and welcoming residential retreat center.
Seven Oaks Retreat Center nestles in the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains about 90 minutes southwest of the Washington, DC, area and 30 minutes north of Charlottesville, Va.
All of us long for a state of peace and serenity, ease, and joy. How do we find that in a world that feels increasingly frantic and fractured? Great spiritual traditions from diverse origins agree on the importance of looking inward and learning for yourself what will lead to inner peace and happiness. Seven Oaks offers spiritual seekers a welcoming home to support this great journey.
Ease and Insight in a Natural Sanctuary
In our long tradition of meditation retreat, we understand the importance of a conducive environment – including nourishing food, and a relaxing and well-stewarded center – in supporting mindfulness. We’re extremely fortunate that the land on which
Seven Oaks sits exudes the peace and calm generated by the thousands of individuals who have engaged, for over half a century,
in transformational practices here.
While Seven Oaks is operated by a Buddhist organization, we welcome groups from all backgrounds who share an appreciation for contemplative practices and demonstrate care and dignity toward all beings.
