Welcome
Discover this quiet place for prayer, in Ocean Beach, a residential neighborhood in San Diego. Seekers of all faiths are welcome to spend time at this small retreat house, reflecting on their spiritual journey. There are wonderful places to walk. The cliffs overlooking the Pacific present a vast view, while the pier and sandy beach provide a closer contact with the sea.
