BETHANY RETREAT CENTER was established in 1982 by the Anawim Religious Community of Frenchville, Pennsylvania. It is a place apart to rest, renew and be recreated for those seeking a deeper relationship with God. Located on 140 acres of partially wooded land in the hills of Pennsylvania, the atmosphere is quiet and peaceful — only 15 miles off Interstate 80.

Excellent program. Mary is a wonderful leader who creates a safe place to explore our inner worlds. Thank you. And Bethany is simply lovely, perfect setting for retreats. Highly recommend!

This retreat was conducted by Mary Dwyer an excellent teacher and founding member of the Contemplative Outreach. I have been to separate retreats and one other with Mary. Both with Mary are highly impactful to my practice. Mary's experience leading retreats evokes a palatable sense of the Silence, a holiness arose around all of us until we broke the Silent on the last day of the retreat. A retreat full of long time meditators creates an environment thick with the Silence I came to meditate within. A retreat at Bethany provides a beautiful atmosphere for Contemplatives. Dwyer's command of the meditative techniques delivered within a hermeutic teaching method plant deep seeds I can't wait to realize.

It was a transformational experience. Nothing could have been better. Not the food, the setting, the people, the location, the weather.

The drumming retreat was a wonderful experience. There was a nice balance of activities, drumming, and stories to keep us well-engaged and inspired. Thanks, Tom and the Bethany Retreat Center, for a great day!

I had an amazing time as this was my first drumming retreat with Tom. I loved the story telling, blessing ritual, and of course the drumming sessions! The food was wonderful and the ground so very well kept. I love Bethany!
