Welcome to Seven Oaks
Simplicity & Beauty in Community
We welcome contemplative groups looking for a spacious, restful, and welcoming residential retreat center.
Seven Oaks Retreat Center nestles in the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains about 90 minutes south of the Washington, DC, area and 30 minutes north of Charlottesville, VA.
For over 50 years, Seven Oaks Retreat Center has offered a wealth of hospitality and skilled support in a serene and beautiful natural setting to those on spiritual paths. As its new stewards, the Insight Meditation Community of Washington will continue that rich tradition.
Ease and Insight in a Natural Sanctuary
Honoring the Buddhist tradition of meditation and retreat, we realize the importance of a conducive environment, nourishing food, and a relaxing and well-stewarded center to support mindfulness.
All of us long for a state of peace and serenity, ease and joy. How do we find that in a world that feels increasingly frantic and fractured? The great spiritual traditions agree on the importance of looking inward and learning for yourself what will lead to inner peace and happiness. Seven Oaks offers you a home to support this great journey.
