The Higher Haven Retreat Center

09/08/2026

We Sit in heat & darkness for hours. We Sit in silence for days. We do all this in the practice of Spiritual Purification, work that can bring about a sense of happiness beyond external conditions. And our entire take on finding & cultivating a more mature spiritual path is summed up in a super simple three-hour class!!! Come out & Sit with us for 2026’s final Meditation + Mindfulness, a peaceful return to nature... as well as your True Nature.

Having just completed our Aug. Ceremony Weekend, here’s what Sept. likely holds: “Everything about this retreat exceeded my expectations. The grounds are tranquil and the guest house provided an opportunity for peace and community. I enjoyed the casual but powerful experience. There was time for relaxation and there was also opportunity for deep growth and learning. The weekend was very healing. Our group even committed to returning as a group next year because we found so much inspiration participating in the ceremony together! Paul offered us a rich opportunity to share, learn, and connect. And he is a terrific host, practitioner, and storyteller!” -GC

This was 3 week's back when we returned from out West! We're inspired with some old Ceremonies + new Retreats upcoming, where we'll share our garden-grow To***co. But first we're celebrating this Summer's Celestial events over the next day and night, with the partial Solar Eclipse + Perseid Meteor Shower. Hope to see you soon!

“This Retreat was exactly what my Mind, Body and Spirit needed. I was immersed in a sense of deep rest and rejuvenation at the beautiful Higher Haven Retreat Center. The grounds are tranquil and Paul is a welcoming space-holder. I would recommend this experience to anyone who needs a break from the hustle bustle of modern life! – CS. https://www.higherhaven.com/retreats-calendar/yoga-meditation-practice-weekend/6/7-3zklh

“From the warm greeting by Paul and his dog RoZie, to the wonderful lunch, the Ceremony, the shared meal, and even a standout yoga class, my April experience at The Higher Haven was nothing short of AMAZING! I feel better than I have in months. And I hope to attend again to explore other events as well.” Pilamaye (Thank you) Collette! On that note, we have a few seats left at next week’s Spring Noble Silence Meditation Retreat (NSMR) Looking forward to seeing you and sitting with you. https://www.higherhaven.com/retreats-calendar/spring-noble-silence-meditation-retreat-2024-r8c5y-93r23-mrnbg-fw4sw-pllb2

"Higher Haven is an absolute Gem. Paul has an incredible, Ceremonial singing voice. The retreat house is absolutely charming, spacious and clean. The 20 acres of land is absolutely breathtaking. Food from the fresh farm market was absolutely incredible. This was a very special use of one’s time…and I hope to return! Highly, highly recommend!!"

All of April absolutely flew by without a post. Alas, we have triumphantly returned in full force, having now run two deeply healing Way of the Contrary Ceremonial Weekend Retreats. “ From the warm greeting by Paul and his dog RoZie, to the wonderful lunch, the Ceremony, the shared meal, and even ...
