This interfaith Center provides facilities and guidance to individuals who wish a quiet place for reflection and meditation. You may choose guidance or instruction or you may just want a little space and time. Silence is the only rule.
We have a small library, and many places to walk or sit outside. You have your own private room and food is provided, although, except for supper, you prepare your own from items provided. Vegetarian options are accommodated. Phone reception is iffy.

Mission/Lineage: In addition we endeavor to promote interfaith understanding, while respecting the integrity and differences among the various faith traditions. We aim to do this without competing with established religious institutions. In fact, we encourage people who come here to be affiliated with a worshipping community.
