What kinds of accommodations does Episcopal House of Prayer offer for retreat participants?
For our in-person retreats, EHoP provides accommodations in our guest rooms as well as three meals a day. EHoP provides towels and bed linens. More information on meals and accommodations can be found here.
Do I need to be Episcopalian or religious to attend an EHoP retreat?
Not at all. Our community is made up of spiritual seekers from a variety of traditions. We especially welcome those who are new to the contemplative path, or who have never attended a retreat at Episcopal House of Prayer before.
What is EHoP’s covid-19 safety policy?
We understand that this is a concern for many people, and strive to keep our policy updated to reflect new developments. You can find the most up-to-date policy below.

Do I have to rent out the entire retreat house, or can small groups or individuals book just a few rooms?
We welcome small groups and individual retreatants. However, please be aware that if you opt not to rent the group spaces (oratory, hearth room, dining area, and kitchen), and another group books rooms for the same dates and requests exclusive use of the group spaces, these spaces will not be available for use.

Groups of eight or more can choose to have meals catered by Episcopal House of Prayer. Groups can also prepare their own meals in our professional, fully equipped kitchen, or choose to have meals catered by local restaurants such as the Local Blend. More information on meals.
Does my group have to be Episcopalian or religious to rent the retreat space?
Not at all: we welcome a wide variety of groups! The space is available for rent by companies and organizations for meetings and retreats. We’ve welcomed groups of all kinds: church staff, non-profits, writing and artist groups, health care providers, book clubs, yoga, and all seekers of spiritual transformation.
