Our Mission

Grounded primarily in Insight Meditation practices, we offer Buddhist retreats and other life-affirming programs, naturalist lectures, art workshops, and cultural events, all unfolding in a thriving and nurturing ecosystem. Here in this rural region of the Sierras, it is our intention to support local efforts towards improving environmental health, habitat and biodiversity. We care deeply about connectivity; relation to self, to nature, to community and to the greater ecosphere. During these times of climate change and uncertainty, we offer a sanctuary where humans have the space and capacity to look within, exploring the evolution they wish to see in themselves and on this earth.
