Welcome to the Comfort Zone

The Comfort Zone is a revolutionary new Art-Based Healing Retreat that offers a variety of exciting and enriching programs and activities.

Whether you decide to stay over for one night or a week or two, or even just drop in for an afternoon workshop or lunch at the Tea Room, the Comfort Zone has something for everyone including our musical programs such as Open Mike, Karaoke and jam sessions with other musicians, papier-mache, mask-making, ceramics or quilting and embroidery, taught by our resident artist, Margaret Franklin, who will also inspire you to create carousel animals for out Carousel of Friendship project.

Our facilities include peaceful overnight suites at negotiable rates, hot tub, sauna and indoor pool, a variety of art workshops and a recording studio as well as locally sourced food available from our kitchen, prepared by our staff of dedicated volunteers.

On our grounds you will find the Imaginarium, a unique art gallery where artists can display and sell their work for free. Artists are encouraged but not obligated to donate a percentage of their earnings to help us continue to provide quality service for all. Think of it as paying it forward. Think of us as family.

We are also the future home of the Carousel of Friendship, a one-of-a-kind community project. It is a full-sized, operating carousel with horses and animals designed by all our participants. This project is partially funded by the sale of embroidered quilts featuring an assortment of carousel art, available at the Imaginarium.
