You don’t have to be Buddhist to use the Dharma Center.
Our lovely grounds are an ideal setting for:
- retreats
- weddings
- classes
- workshops
- meetings
- and more
The Meditation Hall is a serene, sacred setting where groups sit in silence, but where it’s also okay to cut loose and dance. Please no shoes in the meditation hall unless prior arrangements have been made.
The Center has a large, commercial-quality kitchen with its own meeting area. This is where small groups (up to 12 people) gather for tea, potlucks, poetry, workshops, small meetings, and socializing.
The grounds are shaded by ancient oaks and include a large deck area. We are located within the Sky Creek Business Park, a campus-like setting with ponds and walking trails. Our grounds face the City of Chico’s Sky Creek Park where a year-round creek wanders through a riparian woodland populated by many species of birds.
We ask that all individuals and groups who use the center do so with an attitude of mindful respect for our overall purpose, which is to cultivate spiritual development. Use of illegal drugs is not appropriate. Moderate use of alcohol (never to the point of drunkenness) may be acceptable at celebrations such as weddings. Please review the Five Mindfulness Trainings prior to applying to use the center. If you feel your event will be in harmony with these trainings we encourage you to apply.
