Each retreat center listed in our directory is categorized by retreat types.
Retreats can be listed under several different retreat types.

There are two types of searches you can perform.

Type, Location and/or Key Word: To search for a Specific Retreat Type: Select from the "Type" pull down menu and then click: "Search by Type, Location and/or Key Word". To search by State or Province: Select from the "Location" pull down menu and then click: "Search by Type, Location and/or Key Word". To search for a Specific word in the retreat description: Enter a single key word or phrase in the "Key Word" box then click: "Search by Type, Location and/or Key Word". Make sure all words are spelled correctly. Use root/base words whenever possible. Any combination of these three searches can be used.

Retreat Name To search for a Specific Retreat Name: Enter as few as one letter that the retreat center you are looking for begins with. Hint: keep it short to eliminate possible spelling errors. Then click "Search by Name".

Keep your search simple to begin with then add more search terms.
If you do not find a category (for which you are searching) in our retreat types choices,
select "All Types" and include the specific category name in the "Key Word"
box. Example: To find a ranch, select "All Types" and put the word "Ranch"
in the "Key Word Search" box.
Look at our category definitions by clicking on the Retreat Type [definitions].
These definitions may give you ideas of key words to use during a search.
