Our Vision

To be a sacred place where peoples of all faiths as well as spiritual seekers can gather in community to live, work, learn, pray, play, heal and act for justice.

Our Mission

To be a sacred place where people, as individuals or in intentional community, come apart to look deeply into their own lives and the world in light of faith and values, and find their calling to participate in Spirit’s healing work in creation. To provide a residential setting where people of different faiths (or no faith), cultures, Nations and spiritual seekers can explore new understandings of neighbour, faith and the earth and model communities of compassion for the sake of the world.

Acknowledgment of the Land

We acknowledge that we gather on the traditional territory of a number of First Nations and acknowledge their stewardship of this land throughout the ages. We seek a new relationship with the Original Peoples of this land, one based in honour and deep respect.

YOUR EXPERIENCE

Hear What Others Had to Say

“It is a great pleasure to know how much effort Five Oaks made to upgrade the interfaith prayer space…your care about these details affirms what we thought—that Five Oaks is THE place for our educational and leisure activities. I am sure our group will highly appreciate this, enjoy their stay and be enthusiastic to return.” 

Ahmed Korashy

Youth Leader, Muslim Association of Canada

“Our group had a beautiful and inspiring experience at Five Oaks. Five Oaks has a deep history built on humble beginnings. That combined with the surrounding nature makes this place a very grounding and spiritually rich space to heal and grow. The staff was very helpful, friendly and accommodating throughout the process. They even prepared a fire for us that we could enjoy. Thank you to Five Oaks and all the staff that made our stay and the work of our group so rich with love, peace and joy. Five stars!”

Tim Sitt

 “I first came to Five Oaks as a teenager for a youth retreat. It was life changing. Though it took me many years to understand what was started here, I now know it was the beginning of my personal spiritual journey. Today, Five Oaks remains a touch stone for the ongoing spiritual adventure!”
