The Myra House is fantastic! I stayed there for a week while teaching a Wilderness First Responder (WFR) course at Pomona College. WFR courses are intense. The Zen-like atmosphere was just what I needed to recoup at the end of my 12 hour days and keep my energy levels up. The kitchenette allowed me to cook healthy food. I slept well each night lulled by the fountain outside that sounded like a flowing stream.
I am also impressed by the sustainability practices on the property. Dr. Sohn and his family have cultivated the property to conserve resources and grow food in eco friendly ways. The outdoor space is amazing and not one you would expect to find in the middle of a large city.
In addition to the inviting and tranquil atmosphere, Dr. Sohn, was very kind. He was friendly, showed my colleague and I around, and brought my colleague a cup of fresh barley herbal infusion when he wasn't feeling well.
If you are visiting this area, I highly recommend the Myra House. Not only will you benefit from the relaxing environment, but you will be supporting a good cause. Check out the Myra House Holistic Living Center.
