Retreat Space

The Main Hall: Inner and Outer Harmony

Size: 17,500 square feet

Capacity: 3,200

Ideal for large groups and events, the main hall features stunning natural light and a spacious grand room. A granite stone foyer leads to a natural wood interior and stunning multi-tiered skylight that gives the venue a surprising coziness. The retreat space also has a performance stage with professional lighting and an advanced audio-visual system. The main entrance opens onto majestic mountain views, grassy lawns, and several smaller retreat spaces.

Veda Halls: Four Hilltop Retreats

Size: 2,800 square feet

Capacity: 215

Each of these four halls features spacious, open floor plans, plenty of natural light, and freely flowing air through the tall windows surrounding each hall. These hilltop venues are situated next to each other near the mountain top, so they are ideal for groups requiring adjacent retreat spaces and/or break-out rooms. The vestibule opens onto beautiful mountain views and open space. Three halls are carpeted, while one has hardwood flooring, which works well for yoga and performance groups.

Hillside Hall: Immerse Yourself in Nature

Size: 5,000 square feet

Capacity: 300

Special features of this spacious hall include two small break-out rooms, atmospheric multitier lighting, and a spectacular wood-worked open ceiling. Located on a hillside even farther from the hustle and bustle of modern life than the rest of the center, Hillside Hall is an ideal place for a quiet retreat or meeting. The only sounds to break the silence are the rustle of leaves in the wind and the quiet songs of the local mountain birds.

The staff is amazing. They worked endlessly to make sure our women’s group was taken care of. The property was immaculate, the views from your room are breathtaking, and the peace and stillness of the atmosphere was serence. I can’t wait to go back!
