We practice in community, living dormitory-style in our beautiful meditation center, a Queen Anne Victorian built in 1890, situated on the scenic banks of the Illinois River.
Participants can immerse themselves in nature - taking a walk along the river front or even take a short ride to Starved Rock State Park.

Great experience! “
