The Ocamora Retreat Center offers limited seasonal accommodations ideally suited for small, intimate learning groups of between 12 - 24 participants. Programs typically start in early June and run through mid-September of each year. Unfortunately, Ocamora is not available for individual / private retreats, weddings or family reunions at this time.

Our home-like ranch is situated in a beautiful and remote natural setting. The following description reflects existing housing options. Please note that all bathroom facilities are shared and include a solar wash house and outhouses.

In addition to the following rooms there is a spacious library, a small kitchen (including stove, refrigerator, coffeemaker, dishes, etc), a shared bathroom (with private shower stall), and a covered outdoor seating area that includes a striking kiva fireplace. The patio area is centered around a beautiful old apple tree and perennial flower beds. Linens and towels are provided with all Cloister's rooms. Typically sleeps between 5 - 10 people depending on the group / individual choices.
