A limited number of spaces are available each week for individuals who wish to stay at Cranaleith for a personal retreat of 1-5 nights.

Retreat time at Cranaleith is an invitation to solitude, silence, and prayer. You may choose to spend this time with Scripture or a spiritual book, to reflect on a question or decision you are discerning, or simply to rest and be present in stillness.

During your stay, you will meet daily with a member of our staff for spiritual direction. This spiritual director-also known as a spiritual companion-will listen and offer guidance shaped by your intentions and needs as you enter the retreat. Appointments are available during the day and evening, and all conversations are held in confidence.

Guests bring and prepare their own meals. Cranaleith offers access to a galley kitchen equipped with a stove, microwave, refrigerator, coffee maker, and basic cookware and dishes.

Please submit an interest form, a staff member will review calendar availability and be in touch via email within 2 business days.
