As a former owner and creator of Bend of Ivy Lodge, I have more than the typical attachment to this extraordinary place... Susan and Alan proved to be sensitive and skillful partners at every stage of the game, and are clearly the right new stewards for this land and gathering space. I continue to teach many retreats a year here. In new hands, Bend of Ivy is still the best place for my work of anywhere I have taught on five continents.

Bend of Ivy Lodge has become the model of a retreat center for me and our Leadership programs. The deep and obvious care of the land is present in the beautiful and mindful way that both the gardens and the buildings are cared for. The work that I get to do here is transformative; the place makes it sacred. “

“What a pleasure to facilitate a retreat at Bend of Ivy Lodge! Our programs took full advantage of the lush environment including the pond, labyrinth, gardens, and trails. The Lodge, with its huge windows in the central meeting area, was the ideal place for deep group work. Living together in one this inspiring building fostered intimacy and community, and the Lodge provided a perfect container for our purposes.”

Caterer and Kitchen Goddess Dava Melton imbues her creative menus with such love, it is like feasting on spirit. We can’t imagine holding our retreats anywhere else.
