It is expected that most people will come just for the weekend with our usual schedule starting at 5 PM Friday through our concluding SundayDinner at 1 PM. We will also offer meditation and activities Wednesday afternoon, and all day Thursday and Friday. Come when you can and stay as long as you like.

The cost for the retreat is forty-five dollars a night plus tax for a bed in the "Dormitory Domes" including meals. If you stay more than three nights you will receive a 15% discount. Some private rooms are available for an additional cost through the Song of the Morning office.

Come enjoy the deep quiet of the north country in wintertime. Song of the Morning offers eight hundred acres of forest land astride the pristine Pigeon River and is ideal for meditation. It is about a four hour drive from Detroit or Grand Rapids. The accommodations are clean and comfortable with heated rooms and extra blankets. Meals will be vegetarian.
