Meals
Food feeds both our bodies and souls. That's why food is so important to us at Queenswood. And while you're on retreat at Queenswood, you're here to focus on other things than preparing food, so we take pride in making it for you.
When you register for a retreat, please remember to indicate if you have any allergies or dietary requirements so that we can plan ahead for you. If you're gluten sensitive, please plan to bring your own bread and other staple foods, which you can leave in the dining room fridge.
Silence is an important part of the spiritual practice of many of the world's religious and spiritual traditions. In order to make silent meals regularly possible for guests, each meal offers a silent and social seating. You're welcome to arrive for the silent seating and stay through the social seating.
