Accommodations
Nothing here—including where you'll stay—was designed or built by outside contractors. The cabins, temples, paths, and gathering spaces have been built over many years by the people who live here.
Staying at the Ashram is simple, comfortable, and close to the land. The cabin is heated by wood. Water is drawn by hand pump. Showers are hot, but hand-pumped. Composting toilets are used throughout and kept clean and odor-free.
There is no Wi-Fi. Streams run through the woods around them. At night, it gets truly dark. In the morning, you wake to the sounds of the forest.
The simplicity is part of the experience.
The Shodhana
Between two streams, right beside the sauna
Shodhana means purification—a fitting name for a cabin beside the Ashram's cedar-log, wood-fired sauna, shower house, and massage kuti (hut).
The cabin sits between two streams, with the sound of running water close by. Inside are two bedrooms, each with its own private half bath and a small screened-in porch for sitting outside, along with a shared living room with a couch, small library, glass-front woodstove, and skylight overhead.
Open the windows and fresh mountain air and the sound of the streams move through the cabin.
Built in 2004.
Camping
Sleep even closer to the land
Guests are welcome to bring a tent and camp on the Ashram grounds instead of staying in a guest cabin. Tenting offers the simplest way to stay here, surrounded by the woods, streams, night sky, and sounds of the forest.
Campers have access to the same shared shower and toilet facilities as other guests and participate fully in the retreat.
Camping is available seasonally, weather permitting.
