We've loved our experience of staying here at the Hermitage. What a cozy sanctuary. We feel at home on this land. Thank you so much for your kind hospitality. Our group has been coming to The Grail for more than seven summers. It has provided a peaceful refuge where we can wholeheartedly pursue our meditation practice. Those who have been coming to The Grail these last seven years will never forget it. It has become a part of who we are. Yippee!! Woohooo!! We're going to the Grail today! |
