There are plenty of things to do but are not required when staying on site, and lots of educational resources via their library and warm staff. Will and Jeff are fun to stop and chat with, and they always will even if they're in the middle of something else. Such a serene place for a silent retreat and very safe as it's gated and staff on watch in the night hours. They go above and beyond keeping everyone happy. Jai Baba!

This is Meher Baba's home in the West. The beauty of the surroundings and the quiet encourage…read morereflection. You can really feel Meher Baba's Presence in every inch. He is everywhere. Baba charged Kitty Davy and Elizabeth Patterson with finding Him a home in the west. He had many requirements, including that the grounds be not purchased, but given. There were other requirements as well. Kitty and Elizabeth searched all over the United States. Many places they saw were beautiful, but with each place there was something that did not meet Baba's requirements. Finally, Elizabeth remembered that her Father had some property by the family home in Briarcliff Acres. They went to look at the property and were bowled over by the beauty. That property met all of the requirements but one: Elizabeth needed to find out if her father would be amenable to giving the property to them. This was a big ask, and Elizabeth wasn't sure her dad would agree to just give them the property...and he did! That was back in the latter half of the 1940s (I believe 1946, but don't quote me!). Meher Baba was very pleased, and by His 1952 visit, the Center was done. It's still here, over 70 years later, and it is a major destination for many of Baba's followers.
