a warm and welcoming space
for creative and reflective practice
CREATE YOUR OWN RETREAT
We offer a welcoming, intimate space for creative and reflective practice. As a teacher, you may want to lead a guided retreat with your students. Maybe you have a performance group looking for dedicated rehearsal time. Whatever your discipline, a weekend or more at Ochre House could be just what you need to bring clarity and focus to your work. We have eight individual beds (4 double, 4 single) in six bedrooms. and there are a number of additional cottage rentals right in Ochre Pit Cove and the surrounding area.
Event fee applies for groups using outside lodging. See here for studio layout. We are no longer able to provide catering.
Please note that during the pandemic we are limiting capacity to 12 guests including day visitors until further notice.
“The church was absolutely incredible and had a calming and peaceful energy. Lisa, the owner, was amazing to plan with and once we got there made us feel so at home with her personality and delicious meals. I would recommend that anyone and everyone stay at this Church! It was a life changing weekend filled with love, friendship and peace.”

“It was intimate, quiet, close to nature, and had a peaceful, warm energy as soon as you stepped in the doors. Lisa provided healthy and delicious meals and took care of every detail with ease - including dietary variations. The space was inspirational for a retreat.”

“Lisa, the owner, is so helpful and generous. They keep on making great improvements to the space. The church offers space for communal time (art making, eating, hanging out) and solo time. It is spacious and yet still has coziness to it. The daily excursions we take are AWE-some! So much beauty in this area.”
