Located an hour south of Rochester, New York, Springwater Center offers silent meditation retreats and year-round guest visits 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.
The essence of retreat at Springwater is being together in the simplicity and openness of silent awareness. Attending moment-to-moment to what is happening within and without, in a spirit of wonder, curiosity, and discovery.
Springwater Center offers simple yet comfortable accommodations for guests. We seek to provide for all the basic needs and comforts of those who come as a visitor or retreat participant.
On retreat, the center’s vegetarian kitchen provides three hot meals per day. Most menu items are vegan and special dietary considerations such as gluten sensitivity can be accommodated. Retreatants are also welcome to bring personal food and store it in a dedicated guest refrigerator to supplement the menu according to their dietary needs.
