Nestled in lush redwood groves in Northern Sonoma County, the elements of our community have been designed to facilitate meditation and contemplation. We have worked purposefully to create an environment that honors the quiet grandeur of our setting and invites communion with nature.

 Within minutes of your arrival you're certain to notice the overall calm that permeates our spaces. Take a walk along one of our pristine hiking trails, find an opportunity for meditation beside one of our many ponds or simply relax on your own private deck to read, reflect or enjoy the sunset over the redwoods

Our spaces within -- reception area, meditation hall, classrooms, library, dining hall and conference center -- have been designed to encourage opportunities for being present. Nourish your spirit in moments of quiet contemplation and reflection.  Curl up next to the fire in one of our comfortable chairs in the spacious reception area to read or bask in the Sonoma sun on our beautiful terrace overlooking the Gualala valley.
