We are a magnificent 108-acre redwood refuge in the Buddhist tradition for spiritual development and renewal. Our programs seek to inspire transformative experiences that cultivate deep inner joy and a kind heart. We strive to actualize this through Buddhist and innovative secular education, including retreats, sacred sites, wellness programs, a primary school, end of life care, nature trails and more.

Our Mandala

The most happy thing in my life, most fulfilling thing is to work for and to benefit sentient beings. Even just the mere thought to cause happiness to sentient beings, to benefit them, to free them from suffering is the BEST offering to all the buddhas and bodhisattvas. This is the best offering, the best puja; this is what pleases their holy mind most.

– Lama Zopa Rinpoche
