Will was an Amazing host!! The cooks were above par. We had plenty of vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options. The food was fresh and nicely spiced!! We went for a Black Men's retreat and got to practice what we're were doing in a few lovely locations including the mainhall, sanctuary, and labyrinth. We had tons of space and privacy even though there was coincidentally another retreat happening. We thought it would have been great to to get together at some point, but there wasn't time. The other Men's group appeared all white, there were three times as many of them and there were many brief and kind connections made during meals. How cool was it to be in a place where so many men were hearing from patriarchal habits designed to make us feel big but actually kept us from and from expressing the deepest parts of ourselves!!! What a positive experience! Back to the center It's gorgeous! The land is gorgeous! The facilities are spacious with all the amenities you would need for a week or weekend bonding, healing, and exploring the deeper parts of ourselves!! You wanna go!! read more

The Whidbey Institute - Lovely space for a campfire! - Community Service/Non-Profit Near Me - Clinton, Washington

We went to check this place out but it was closed for a private retreat. Which is no worries. But when we talked to someone she was quite curt and gave some mixed messages to our family. Honestly I felt turned off by that and don't think we will return based off of the unfriendly vibe. read more

I attended a Leadership training retreat here. The grounds are beautiful with all sorts of walking trails. There is a very cool Labyrinth to walk, a sanctuary, and great hall. There are also cabins and old houses on the property. I stayed in one of the new cabins that were built in the last 6 months. It was well heated and very comfortable. The bed was more comfy than my own bed at home. Also, the food served was AMAZING!! I never thought I could love vegan food so much. Seriously. It was to die for. The peaceful and tranquil setting was very enjoyable. read more

A sanctuary doing good works in a mad world. Take excellent courses or volunteer in the gardens or stay in a sweet cabin and dine on stellar fresh food. read more

I atended a wedding here last summer and was very impressed with this hidden gem. The gardens are beautiful and the miles of wooded walking paths, peaceful and inviting. I read that the trails exist in 70 acres. The wedding was outside under a sanctuary overlooking the seemingly endless canopy. Following a magical ceremony, we walked into the spacious well lit main hall with pretty hard wood floors and cathedral ceilings. We all enjoyed a delicious catered meal and then jazzy entertainment. I understand that this is a not for profit organization and they also have cabins for personal retreats. May have to try this sometime. read more

I am a labyrinth hunter and they have the largest labyrinth I have ever walked. The energy of the labyrinth and the place are remarkable.
