Can't sleep?  Pick up a good book in the library any time of the day or night.  Want to get in touch with your creative side?  The art studio has a diversity of mediums to get you on your way. 

Library
With over 12,000 items, the Queenswood library covers topics such as spirituality and world religions, psychology,  fiction and biography.  Public memberships available.  24-hour borrowing privileges also available for guests on a Queenswood retreat.

Therapeutic Pool
Kept at 32.2ºC (90ºF), these warm waters will sooth your muscles and calm your body.  Public memberships and drop-in rates available.  24-hour access available for guests on a Queenswood retreat.

Art Studio
Art is a helpful spiritual tool.  Access your creativity and delve into a world of free expression and exploration.  You don't have to be "an artist" to enjoy the benefit of taking time to make a collage, mandala or painting.

Places of Prayer, Meditation and Reflection
Find your sacred space at Queenswood: the Chapel, a large room with hardwood floors and arbutus trees that peer over the skylights; the Sanctuary, a small private space softened by blue tones; and the Oratory, a traditional Catholic prayer space.

Grounds and Beach
In addition to the woods and walking trails, explore the Mary Garden, grotto, rose gardens and labyrinth.  Or take a short stroll down to one of the neighbourhood beaches where you'll find nature in one of its most beautiful forms.
