Please call us in advance to arrange a time to visit. The land, as is traditional for Tibetan retreat centers, is situated in the ford of two creeks. It borders a state park with accessible hiking trails. All buildings and facilities have been built and are maintained in an environmentally-conscious manner by residents and community members, some of whom have lived here for more than 20 years. We generate our own power using solar energy and a generator, and use only biodegradable non-toxic products to keep our facility clean.
