Meeting
Facilities
The
Mountain Retreat & Learning Center
offers a variety of meeting rooms and outdoor
spaces to suit the needs of your group.
The
Great Room
located in the Lodge, seats 75 in comfortable
conference chairs. The full-length windows
on the eastern exposure offer beautiful
views of surrounding mountains while
the western side of the room centers
around a hand-crafted stone chimney
and fireplace. The southern exposure
opens onto a large deck overlooking
Blue Valley. The vaulted ceiling and
exposed beams create a spacious ambiance,
while couches around the fireplace provide
a comfortable atmosphere for smaller
groups. Furnishings include a Steinway
grand piano.

Commons

is especially appropriate for workshops, informal
gatherings, and traditional classes of up

Tree House,
with stage, grand piano, and a treetop view
of The Mountain and Blue Valley, provides
space for large groups and gatherings. The
high ceilings and wood floors make the Tree
House a perfect place for concerts, lectures
and meetings, as well as workshops and seminars
which require participants to have freedom
of movement. Photo by Sandy

Adjacent
to the Tree House is a Fire
Ring which is ideal for outdoor
ceremonies and campfires.
In addition, our large outdoor Amphitheater
provides groups with space to gather around
a campfire, drum, or enjoy an outdoor classroom.

The
Lower Rec Hall
is ideal for workshops, classes and informal
gatherings. Sofas and comfy chairs ring the
fire place and a piano is ready for sing-alongs.
Windows ring the room making for a light and
airy feel.
