Come and find us
Four ways to reach the house, and four ways to get up the hill. Sunday afternoons you can simply turn up.
Four ways
Ask us anything at all
There is no booking form and there is not going to be one. Every question about a retreat is really a question about whether it is right for you, and that is a conversation rather than a field.
Write
stay@calm.comRead by somebody who teaches here, answered within a day. The best way to ask a question you would rather not ask out loud.
Call the office
+233 30 291 4470Seven in the morning until eight at night, every day. If nobody picks up we are all in the hall — try again in forty minutes.
For dates, transfers and the small logistical questions. Not monitored during the afternoon silence, which is rather the point.
Come and look
Mampong-Akuapem Road, AburiAny Sunday afternoon, without booking. Somebody will walk you round the grounds and give you tea, and nobody will ask you for a deposit.
Finding us
Getting up the hill
Aburi is forty kilometres from Accra and about eight hundred metres above it, which is most of why the nights are cool enough to sleep.
From Kotoka
Ninety minutes, and we collect you. A car meets every arriving guest at Terminal 3 with your name on a card — there is nothing to arrange and nothing to pay.
Driving yourself
Aburi–Mampong road, four kilometres past the botanical gardens, gate on the left after the water tank. The last stretch is steep and unlit, so come up before dark the first time.
By trotro
Madina to Aburi, then a shared taxi towards Mampong and ask for Calm. Tell us when you set off and somebody will be at the gate.
In the rains
The ridge road closes perhaps twice a year in the heaviest weeks of June. If it does we will know before you do, and we will come down and get you.
Come and be still.
Nine rooms, six dates a year, and a gatehouse ninety minutes out of Accra. Write to us and we will tell you honestly which week is yours.
