In a quiet mountain setting of the Sierra Nevada foothills in northern California you will find a special retreat located next door to the Ananda Village Community. Our goal is to support and provide services for those seeking privacy, rest, spiritual education, personal healing and a chance to reconnect with one’s deeper self. The depth of silence and transformative power to connect with your spirit is unlike anything available anywhere.

We are blessed to live next door to a world class yoga retreat that houses one of the very first successful “intentional spiritual communities” on the planet.  Ananda village is an amazing place.  Come and spend a day touring their grounds, learning about the community, walking the trails, and eating great vegetarian meals.  Or seclude and sit in on a yoga class and meditate in temples of silence.

Right outside your bedroom door.....you can walk over and explore some very special places:

The Crystal Hermitage Chapel and the Museum of the Masters, will uplift ones spirits with beautiful gardens and incredible views.  A short walk down the road you can drop in on the “The Expanding Light” a world class yoga and meditation retreat.

The Museum of the Masters holds the historical relics and “miraculous stories” of the great yoga master Paramahansa Yogananda--east indian author of the classic spiritual book on yoga,  an Autobiography of a Yogi. (click on next page to read an online copy of this timeless classic) The other four masters of this yoga lineage have relics displayed in this unusual museum.

Our area has been blessed with skilled healers, Ayurvedic doctors, trained therapists and energy workers who can help make your retreat holistic and complete.  Four Ayurvedic yoga healing clinics are located within a few miles of us and provide full treatment and services.
