MEETING SPACES
ACCOMODATION
The Meeting Hall is a stand-alone building nestled hillside at the edge of the forest and along side a babbling brook. Plenty of windows allow fresh forest breezes, dappled sun light, and calming views. The subtle sounds of nature in the background are an added bonus to this space's soothing, private setting...a choice meditation environment.
Perfect for groups requiring a substantial beverage and snack service area, this open, 24 x 44 foot (1,056 sq ft), low pile carpeted space with adjacent 15 x 15 foot kitchenette can easily host up to 70 persons for a seated conference or workshop, and up to 30 to 50 for activities requiring more movement, such as dance, drumming or physical therapy lessons. A wood stove and the option of ambient lighting can provide an ideal informal reception venue or ultra-casual, cozy gathering space.
Its close proximity to the Centre's main accommodation (Leader's Cabin, Lodge and Bunkhouse) offers participants just a moment's walk to gather as well as the convenience of using the Lodge Lounge as a relaxed break-out space. If exercise or self-reflection is part of your group's program, it is just steps from the Meeting Hall to begin a contemplative stroll or invigorating hike on our trails.
