St. Moira’s Retreat House

"Let all who come be received as Christ himself, for he will say: 'I was a stranger and you welcomed me." Rule of St. Benedict

Email the Sisters if you would like information on retreats.

Our newly constructed retreat house, St. Moira's, is simple, spacious, and inviting. This welcoming space is super-insulated and passive solar. It offers four rooms for individual retreats, a small conference room, a kitchenette for making breakfast and picking up other meals prepared by the sisters, and two bathrooms. Each room has stunning views of the surrounding countryside. It is fully-handicap accessible, and offers a secluded place for quiet and prayer with the supportive presence of a praying monastic community nearby. Our outdoor "Prayer Trail" offers many beautiful vistas for mediation and reflection.  Suggested retreat donation is $40 per day per person, but all are welcome, regardless of ability to pay. Those who are able to give more help us offer hospitality to those who can give less."

what's up?
   
 
             
    Transfiguration Hermitage in Windsor, Maine, USA, is a monastic community following the Rule of St. Benedict. We are dedicated to a life of prayer for the needs of all people and outreach to anyone seeking spiritual growth. This Benedictine life of prayer and solitude revolves around times of daily prayer together in chapel and our solitary prayer in the silence of our hermitage. We offer witness and opportunities of spiritual growth to others through retreats, workshops, courses, and spiritual direction. Like rain which nurtures the earth, causing plants to grow and giving food to all, this life of prayer is an invisible spring, pouring forth the grace of God's love to human hearts.
