Interfaith Retreat and Conference Centre in Litchfield, Connecticut

Wisdom House sits on a 70-acre campus of meadows, woods and brooks in Litchfield, Connecticut. The grounds include indoor and outdoor areas set aside for meditation, prayer and creative thinking, and the centre describes the setting as encouraging all three. It is an interfaith house: presenters come from many faith traditions and cultures, and the stated commitment is to building a strong interfaith community.

The centre runs its own programmes across four areas — spirituality, wellness, the arts and ecology — and also opens its buildings to outside groups. It hosts meetings, conferences and retreats for nonprofit and for-profit organisations whose work supports growth in spirituality, education, the arts and ecology, and welcomes more than 500 groups a year, many of them returning annually.

Group sizes range from ten people up to 150 guests, and packages are customised to what each group needs. Groups that take the overnight accommodation have more time to gather, build community and rest, which the centre notes as an advantage of staying rather than visiting for the day.

Wisdom House is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) charitable ministry. It relies on volunteers, contributions and fees to carry out its mission, and frames support as a way of promoting care of culture and creation through the arts, ecology and spirituality.

The page does not list a fixed retreat schedule, named instructors, room types, prices or departure dates. What it describes is a venue and a programme calendar rather than a bookable package, so anyone interested needs to contact the centre directly to find out what is running and what it costs.
