The Aerie Retreat Center is a place to find respite, healing, transformation, connection, and revitalization for those seeking it. Give yourself the gift of unplugging from the daily buzz and noise, tuning into the peace and beauty of this magical land, and allowing the Aerie to support you in turning inward toward your innate intelligence and awaken to your highest self. Our mission and greatest hope is to heal the world, one person at a time.

All are welcome ... all faiths, all races, all humans ... as all are deserving of healing and love.

Land Honoring

We honor and acknowledge the people of the Klamath Modoc Tribes who were the original stewards of this land. We recognize the unique, enduring and challenging relationship that exists between Indigenous people and their traditional territories. Let this acknowledgement serve as a reminder of our ongoing efforts to recognize, honor, reconcile, and partner with the Modoc people whose lands and water we benefit from today. This calls us to become even better stewards of this land we inhabit as well!
