The retreats take place in Sonoita, AZ, at the Santa Rita Abbey Retreat Center,* about an hour south of Tucson. This is a natural setting on high desert terrain. There are seven private rooms; one queen room can accommodate two retreatants. Each room has its own bath. The retreat menu is vegetarian.
