The Zen Mountain Center is " off grid " and run on solar power and generators. Outside of the office landline, there is no cell service giving you a great opportunity to unplug and reset! This is a " luxury camping " style retreat. In true community Zen lifestyle, we wash our own dishes, clean up after ourselves and are mindful about electricity use giving us time to be mindful in our daily energy use practices. Cabins have propane heaters and our main Zendo has a beautiful propane fireplace to enjoy yoga practice around! 

We sleep on mattresses in cabins located through out the property, the mattresses all have a fresh, fitted sheet on them, we then bring our own linens(sleeping bag/blankets/pillow), toiletries and towels. Some cabins have bathrooms attached to them and some do not. There is beautiful  main bathhouse with solar heated hot water and stone floors. The water on the property is pulled from artesian wells and is delicious, be sure to bring your reusable water bottle to fill up! 

The resident Tenshin Roshi is a master carpenter and has created each building to resemble a Japanese temple in style, blending perfectly into the mountain landscape. 

​

Weather on the mountain can vary but will likely be warm and possibly hot in early October. The early mornings and nights can still be cool. Be sure to bring both warm and cool clothes and wear layers to adapt to the weather each day.
