“ARC was born in the womb of silence.” Ruth Halvorson, founder

Since the 1970s thousands of guests have been drawn to the beauty and grandeur of the Lodge and Cottage in this creekside, forested oasis. Hundreds more have retreated to the Hermitage. ARC’s setting on 90 acres of pristine forest and protected wetlands is a place of healing, renewal and respite.

Like the threads of mycelia that spread throughout this land facilitating communication between organisms and aiding the exchange of nutrients, members of the ARC family as guests, practitioners, volunteers, and donors are part of an ‘ecosystem’ interconnected through the restorative power of nature, nurturing and silence.

As stewards of this land and this exceptional retreat center, it is our duty to see to its financial health. The current published overnight rates reflect the value of your stay at ARC.

Be assured that with the help of private donations, we are able to offer scholarships and membership options that will allow ARC to remain accessible to all.

Sincerely, ARC Board of Directors
