Located privately in Prime location, sitting on top of the hill, you're are able to see the whole Bay area from the top, Private-secluded Spiritual Retreat, gives way to reflect on your deeds, the type of life you're leading, good or bad, reconcile with family members or to find solutions to your work and personal problems, the Retreat re-invigorates, energizes your state of mind, purify your soul and thoughts, and what your inner soul passes to you through your dreams. There are many priests to give you emotional support and advice, older priests are your guides to a better life to find, peace, health, happiness, harmony with the family, friends, and work. Due to the pandemic, Retreats are not getting the old number attendees they would normally have. Attendees were coming from all over the country; Hawaii, Arizona, Los Angeles, San Diego, unfortunately these devoted attendees are no longer coming, The Jesuit Retreat Center has been established in Los Altos, Ca for over a 100 years or more. I highly recommend visiting this sacred monastery to find inner peace, happiness and comfort.

This is a wonderful place for retreats and conferences. Since I was here on a retreat, I will focus on the spiritual aspect of the place. The Jesuits here are wonderful spiritual directors and retreat leaders. They will meet you where you are at, and walk the journey of faith with you. The chapel is a prayerful space with gorgeous stained glass windows that shine brilliantly most of the day. As for the rest of the space, a lovely hilltop setting with expansive views of Silicon Valley. There are 2-3 miles worth of trails, with benches scattered all around, on the property where you can enjoy walks in contemplative silence. The dining room also has magnificent views overlooking the valley. The food is delicious and healthy. There is also a nice bookstore with a wide ranging selection on the topics of faith and spirituality. The rooms are single occupancy with attached bathroom. All in all, a gem in the Bay Area.
