Simplicity and Beauty in Community

Seven Oaks Retreat Center welcomes contemplative groups looking for a spacious, restful, affordable, and welcoming residential retreat center.

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.

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.

Great cooking. I’m a lifelong vegetarian and it’s all satisfying.”
