Wiawaka Center for Women is a 501(c)3 charitable organization dedicated to enriching and inspiring the lives of all women while we preserve our historical property and mission. We are celebrating our 122nd year in continuous operation in 2025 and are proud to be the oldest operating women’s retreat in the country. We do charge for overnight accommodations, meals, workshops, and events; However, much of our programming and operations are funded through donations.
