One of the most soul-satisfying places on Earth

I was an apprentice there for 2 months, then did another 3 months at the sister school OAK before committing to residency programs at both. Everything I learned there was for the purpose of engaging with the real, present experience—with other people, myself, the world--with expanded capacity for courage, clarity and care. It was essential for learning that this is a community of people who truly value compassion, personal growth and trustworthiness, who are truly committed to living ethically with integrity. The teaching wasn’t only in words and ideas, but in their actions, ways of being with each other, with challenges they face in the world around them and at large.

Meals are communal activities for all occupants and guests. While the food varies based on factors like the seasons, who are training at the time, it's generally amazing. They use high quality ingredients, mainly whole foods, and all meals are cooked with big doses of mindfulness and love!

Pros: Community of high integrity, Food included in all programs, Quality wholesome meals cooked with love
