Anchor of the Lord Spiritual Retreat Center

From Andorith

Anchor of the Lord Spiritual Retreat Center is a religious resort in the Spiretop Villages southwest of the Andorith metro area. It is four miles from its parent monastery. The center's aesthetic reflects the rustic, acetic, and practical nature of its religious order.

The location's offerings include:

  • Group meditation and intentional outdoor gatherings at the Mesa Top
  • Geothermal mud baths to wash away worldly connections
  • Stick-to-your-ribs vegetarian classics at the cafeteria
  • Forest walking trails and a labyrinth with koan statuary
  • Solitary subterranean meditation in dark rooms with dead sound
  • Joyful listening in the large resonant chamber of Singing Bells
  • Boat-based confession at a Deep Listening Pool, staffed by monks 24/7

Commercial retreats, such as the Artists Retreat, attract both secular and religious clientele and are held multiple times a year. These may be very expensive, unless a guest has the right friends or is truly impressive.

Controversies

At the height of his fame, faddish avant-garde noise drummer Mukti Sitaula was killed at an artist retreat held by the center.
