Spiritual Retreat Center

Have yourself a personal retreat! Our camping prices start at $29 a night. For the same price though you can get a bed in a shared room. Please don't bring alcohol or cannabis or drugs here. People who come here are generally trying to get away from those things. We are not debating about those things but please don't bring alcohol, cannabis or drugs here. Come for an experience. There are many hiking trails nearby. Come look at the stars and walk the largest labyrinth in California. There are trails on the land here as well. Come jam with us around a fire at night.  There is a shared kitchen. Please bring your own food and keep the kitchen clean. Laundry cost is $5 for washing and drying per small load. We have spiritual discussions daily.We are in the midst of gorgeous rural native trees and nature away from urban life here. We are not affiliated with any particular spiritual ideology or philosophy with a central authority, but we are rather a community of truth seekers learning and growing in the mirror of relationship and intelligent questioning of everything; and love, we believe, is the only light in this spiritual journey.We Live in a beautiful piece of land at 3,400 feet elevation in Santa Ysabel, CA. This is a 10.8 acre property located at the Headwaters of the San Diego River and border of the 3800 acre Santa Ysabel Preserve. With many large stunning rock outcroppings and Metates carved into the rock, this has been the home to many before us. We have about 150 varieties of native plants around the entire property that have names of the plants for demonstration purposes. Some of the plants are rare. We are slowly adding name labels to the plants everywhere, so everyone can learn the names of the local native plants! Some of the native plants are edible. We are in a drought and we feel this education is wise to grow food this way, similar to a food forest. This will bring us closer to a more sustainable world when others learn about native plants, because naturally people will want to grow them in their yard instead of having a lawn thus saving the ground water and the water we all need. We feature the largest walking labyrinth in California. With more than 1000 Oak Trees, three small seasonal rivers, large granite boulders to climb and sit on and a large chemical-free and splinter-free playground, it is a haven and sanctuary for children and adults, alike.We are located close to the beautiful historic town of Julian, CA in Southern California. This area has beautiful, expansive views and rich California Gold Rush history. We are located 1.7 miles from the nearest town, Santa Ysabel, CA. The store there opens and closes each day from 6 am to 8 pm.  Noble quiet hours are at 10:00 pm to 8 am. Whispers are okay. There is a dog next door about 200 feet away who sometimes barks. Thanks! and Welcome all!
