Poustinia is our one efficiency room located in Sabbath Lodge, where you are supplied a small refrigerator, toaster,
microwave as well simple meals, coffee, tea and water allowing you to take a private retreat in the solitude of Jubilee House. It has a double bed and a
prayer nook. You are welcome to use the entire center provided we have no programs in-house at the time.
The Meditation Room surrounded by hand painted icons of St Brigid, Mother Theresa
and the Last Supper, offers a prayerful setting nestled in a corner of Sullivan Commons for individual, group prayer and/or
liturgy around the Celtic Cross.
The Meditation Garden is at the center of our contemplative home with walkways serenely taking you through two patios
providing mountain views enhancing your setting for reflection, prayer or conversation. Simply rest in the quiet on one of
the benches overlooking Our Lady of Lourdes Grotto or the hills of horses, while relaxing in one of the many rocking chairs
waiting for you.
The Cretan Labyrinth is an ancient symbol that relates to wholeness. It combines the imagery of the circle and the spiral into a meandering
but purposeful path. The Labyrinth represents a journey to our own center and back again out into the world. Labyrinths have
long been used as meditation and prayer tools, we are blessed to have one on our back hill.

A Commitment To The Environment From
its inception, Jubilee House has been committed to a deep respect for the natural environment. This is reflected in the building
design and materials. All interior wood finishes are products of the local sustainable forestry program and locally-quarried
stone work enhances both interior and exterior building finishes. We make a conscious effort to avoid the wasteful use of
paper, plastic and Styrofoam products as a further expression of this commitment. In standing true to these values we make every effort possible to use local produce, meats,
coffee, bakers, and flower growers in order to help sustain the wonderful community we live in; as well all of our cleaning
products are 'green' while we strive to recycle, compost and re-use as we are able thus adding to the mission of our center.
Thank you to our AMAZING Vendors!!! Go LOCAL, it is
truly the only way to go!
