Home
In the midst of a too-busy, consumer-oriented culture, Five Oaks is a sacred place which bears witness to an alternative: an opportunity to listen to the owls, commune with the trees and foxes, and play in the snow. Such experiences lead to a deeper connection with creation, with the divine, and with self.
Come away by yourself or with others.
Rent the facilities, participate in a program, or make a retreat.
Come, connect with the holy.
As an Affirming Ministry within the United Church of Canada, we are welcoming and inclusive of people of all sexual orientations and gender identities.
Upcoming Programs
