Facilities
TRUE NORTHAT SOUTHWEST
A countryside home isn't a city home. Everything you need is here, but the house sits in the middle of the land, with a lot of sun, a lot of green, more silence than most people are used to, and a night sky that keeps people outside long after dinner.
We share the place with bugs and the odd wild animal, and we'd rather say that in advance than have anyone surprised by it. Nature is properly alive around this house, and most people end up liking that about it.
Meditation Temple
Two stages across 100m², with room for 40 mats. Thick walls hold the cool through summer, and a pellet stove and radiators keep it warm in winter. Sound system, WiFi, whiteboard, flipcharts and all the props are in there. It's the room groups use for sitting practice and anything that needs quiet.
Panoramic Nave
The main hall, 120m² of open floor, good for up to 60 people or 40 mats. Yoga, martial arts, dance, workshops and ceremonies all happen in here. There's a fixed sound system, a projector, air conditioning and a wood stove, so it works year round.
Panoramic Deck
120m² of open deck with the valley in front of it. Groups use it for sunrise practice, yoga, tai chi and martial arts, and it works as an extra terrace for meals when the weather's good.
Green Shala
76m² of shaded deck under an oak that's stood here for two hundred years. Yoga, meditation, or anything that's better done outside.
Food Temple & Terrace
80m² of adobe and local stone, seating 40 inside and more out on the terrace, which is partly shaded. There's a pellet stove for winter evenings, two bathrooms, WiFi, and coffee, tea and drinking water available day and night.
Teepee & Tree House & Amphitheater
Stone seating for 50 around a fire pit, with the teepee and the Tree House further along and the valley below. It's where groups gather in the evening, for ceremonies, music, or just to watch the light go. Fires depend on the season, since they aren't allowed through the dry months.
Sauna,& Massage & Ice Bath
The sauna is open to everyone staying, at no extra cost. Massages are booked directly with our therapists, and the ice bath can be arranged if the group
asks a few days ahead.
Biopool & Canal
The biopool is there through the summer, and the canal runs cold with water coming down from the lake nearby. Neither one is heated, which is the point.
