About the Space

We’ve created Center Street to be a place for rest, healing, and inspiration. Our home is surrounded by gardens, a saltwater pool, and cozy gathering spaces that invite connection and reflection.

Center Street is a retreat and community gathering space designed for rest, healing, creativity, and connection. The property includes lush gardens, a saltwater pool, hot tub, outdoor showers, and warm indoor gathering areas.

Center Street is designed to feel peaceful, warm, and intentional—part retreat, part home. Guests often describe the space as grounding, creative, and deeply restful.

The retreat center comfortably accommodates up to 17 guests in shared rooms, or 7 guests with private rooms. Additional guests may stay at one of two nearby hotels located within one mile of the center.

Yes. The entire property can be reserved for private retreats, workshops, offsites, or special gatherings.

Most retreats and events at Center Street are created for adults and benefit from a quieter, more contemplative environment. From time to time, we offer family-friendly gatherings, which will always be clearly indicated. Please review individual event descriptions before registering.


Visiting Center Street

Center Street is an intentionally designed space for gatherings, reflection, and connection. Access is typically limited to scheduled events or guided tours to preserve a calm, uninterrupted experience.

To preserve the experience and privacy of our guests, the property is only open to those attending an event or participating in a scheduled tour. Many gatherings reserve the entire space, and we’re mindful of maintaining a calm, uninterrupted flow for everyone on-site.

We’d truly love to welcome you—please consider joining us for an upcoming event or reaching out to schedule a tour.

Yes. We offer a variety of community-based events on a donation or sliding scale, making it easier to experience the space and be part of the Center Street community. These offerings are a wonderful way to soak in the good vibes of the center while connecting with others.

Keep an eye out for men’s and women’s groups, pool days, meditation gatherings, and other community-oriented offerings.


Travel to Center Street

We want your arrival to be as smooth as possible. Below are tips on airports, transportation, and getting here.

Orlando International Airport (MCO) is the closest major airport, approximately 30–40 minutes away. Sanford International Airport (SFB) is also a convenient option, about 35 minutes from the retreat center.

Most guests find renting a car to be the easiest option. Ride-share services such as Uber and Lyft are also widely available.

Both Google Maps and Apple Maps provide directions to Center Street. We recommend Google Maps, as Apple Maps occasionally routes guests to the back of the property.


Parking & Accessibility

From the moment you arrive, we want you to feel at ease. Parking is simple, and we do our best to make the space welcoming and accessible.

Yes. We offer approximately 30 free parking spaces across three convenient areas: in front of the house, at the end of the street, and in the lot across the street. This allows us to comfortably accommodate guests while keeping the neighborhood calm and accessible.

Guests who need easier access are encouraged to park in front of the house, which provides the most direct entry to the retreat center. If you have specific accessibility needs, please reach out in advance and we’ll do our best to accommodate.

We strive to make Center Street as welcoming and accessible as possible, while also being transparent about the current limitations of the property.

We have a ramp at the main entrance, and a portable ramp can be provided for access to the front of the house if needed. Most common indoor areas are accessible; however, there is a small half-step to enter the Magic Room.

The gardens and outdoor areas include uneven ground and gravel, which may be challenging for wheelchairs. The pool and garden area can be accessed through the pool gate without a step up, though we do not currently have assistive devices for pool entry.

We are actively exploring ways to improve accessibility and are committed to creating a space that honors and welcomes many types of bodies. If you have specific access questions, we encourage you to contact us ahead of time so we can support you thoughtfully.
