The following resources have been used by members of the sangha, and they are shared here with the intention of helping others.
Quietude was created to offer a healing, welcoming environment where individuals and groups come together for workshops, learning, and social gatherings. It is a place to step out of the pace of everyday life and explore the inner life—so that authenticity, compassion, and creativity can be brought more fully into the outer world.
Designed for meaningful connection, Quietude supports both those attending events and those hosting them. The space is simply appointed and grounded, making it well suited for experiences that invite reflection, relationship, and thoughtful exchange.
