Events at Oregon House

"I am a hole in a flute that the Christ's breath moves through - Listen to this music." - Hafiz

Oregon House is dedicated to transformational work in a small group context. Our mission is the realization of personal potential, power and uniqueness: the renewal of life as community; and the celebration of diversity and the one creative mystery behind it.

"The setting of Oregon House is really special! Spirit Journeys utilizes numerous retreat locations throughout the country. None offer such a dramatic location: buildings perched up on a bluff overlooking the ocean with steps that take you down to a secluded beach. The staff at Oregon House were most accommodating in providing lots of little touches that helped make our retreat very successful. The participants praised Oregon House and its staff, many are eager to return to Oregon House for a future retreat or workshop." David Frechter, President, Spirit Journeys, Asheville, NC
