We are a 501 (c)(3) Non-Profit, Spring Grove AKA Silent Stay Retreat Center and Assisi Retreat Center.

Our Mission statement since 1983: is to help people discover the permanent ground of inner peace inside their Hearts.

We are a non-demoniational organization, with over 42 years of service. We support people of all religions and backgrounds to live a deeply meaningful life. ​The path of great love and peace is to pursue a life full of heart that includes devotion, simplicity, humility, and service to others.  ​

Each person has their own perfect path, and it is discovered in their heart.  This is what we call the Path of Heartfulness. We have dedicated our lives to support each person to find their true path.   Meditation, silence and stillness open the doors to the wisdom of the heart.

We reserve 5 rooms for scholarship students in each retreat. Please donate below.
