Our meditation hall is a large gathering place used for daily prayers, weekly classes in Sufism and healing, and our own Sunday Universal Worship Service, as well as occasional concerts, seminars, workshops and retreats. Most events are open to the public. The top floor of the Meditation Hall consists of additional guest rooms and retreat spaces. Financially the community is maintained by the residents who pay a monthly board and lodging fee as well as rents paid by Mountain Road School and Omega Publications . The annual budget is based on this income.
Most residents work in the surrounding area and a small number are paid employees of the community.
Year 'round positions includes office administrator, kitchen manager, a maintenance person, housekeeper. Summer positions are farmer, herb garden manager, and grounds keeper. The Abode offers a unique experience of an individually guided retreat. The spiritual retreat is a contemplative experience, a complete break from the routine of everyday life for a number of days of guided reflection. Through the retreat an individual moves toward a state of feeling more whole and accepting of self and others.
