4. What is the atmosphere/mood at Moksha Spiritual Center?

Think of this place as a modern ashram (spiritual commune). It is designed for people to explore their healing/spiritual practices in a simple, clean and comfortable place with all the basic amenities. The attraction of Moksha Spiritual Center is as much in the outdoors as it is in the indoors. The open-air terraces and balconies are great places to connect with nature. Views of Frazier Mountain and mount Tecuya are very soothing. It is a shared communal space; all the bedrooms have shared accommodation. We hope that this gives an opportunity to bond more with the other participants/residents at the center, with respectful boundaries of course. If you prefer to stay in a private room, you may stay at a hotel or find other accommodation close by. You will find many smaller homes for rent in the mountain communities. There are 3 hotels within 10 mins of the center. Please note that Moksha Spiritual Center is not a luxury resort, it was not made for material indulgences. It is important you understand this, so you can align your expectations with the intent of the retreat center.

The center is also an eco-friendly facility. We strive to reduce our carbon footprint as much as possible. We avoid use of plastic to the extent possible. All soap (hand, bath, dish, clothes), house cleaning solutions (bathrooms, toilets, kitchen), room fresheners in all bedrooms and bathrooms are made from natural and ecofriendly ingredients. Paper towels and toilet paper are made from recycled paper. Solar panels generate the electricity used by the center. We would appreciate if you can reduce the consumption of plastic during you stay at the center.
