Accommodations

Juniper Lodge at Windhorse Farm:

Juniper Lodge is the premier group retreat facility at Windhorse Farm. Up to 20 participants can be accommodated in a most comfortable way (solar hot water heating in all the floors). The lodge includes many bedrooms, three individual kitchen/dining rooms, program kitchen and large dining room, three sitting rooms, library, the great room with huge kachelofen, meeting rooms and a beautiful meditation hall. When combined with the use of the contemplative forest walking trails and other Windhorse Farm amenities, this is the perfect place for a meeting or group practice retreat.

Transportation

Halifax Stanfield International Airport (airport code: YHZ) is the closest airport, with direct flights to it from Montreal, Toronto, Boston, New York, Chicago and others, including European cities. The airport is about a half-hour by car or bus from the city of Halifax. We'll try to arrange and coordinate transportation to Windhorse Farm (about 50 minutes from Halifax, or 1 1/4 hours direct from the airport).
