Our main gathering space accommodates up to 75 people, and includes a sound system, projector and screen, and vaulted ceiling with skylights. Nearby, you will find our dining room, chef’s kitchen, restrooms, and staff offices.

The Commons is our newest gathering space and accommodates up to 22 people. It includes a full kitchen and two bathrooms with showers for campers to use.

This non-denominational sacred space is often used for meditation, dance, small gatherings, and break-outs. It features a reading loft, live edge timber-framed construction, and wood sourced largely from on-site.

Located away from the main campus in the Legacy Forest, Storyhouse can be used for break-outs and small gatherings. It features a living room with wood stove, electric heat, and a kitchenette. There is no refrigerator. Storyhouse is serviced by a nearby, single portable restroom.

This educational medicinal, vegetable, and herb garden serves as a year-round learning environment for students, program participants, volunteers, and visitors.

This flower garden was planted in a celtic knot pattern over 40 years ago and is tended by volunteer Mara Grey. It provides fruit, botanical flower extracts, pollinator habitat, and space for quiet conversation.

Our 106 acre trail network is open from dawn ’til dusk. This land is protected by a comprehensive conservation easement with the Whidbey Camano Land Trust. Bicycles, dogs, horses, and motor vehicles are prohibited.

Our outdoor stone labyrinth is built and maintained by volunteers, and modeled after the famous labyrinth at Chartres, France. It is a popular site for reflection and walking meditation.

This rustic outdoor shelter sits at the center of our Chinook Heartland. In the summer months, it’s a hub of arts, crafts, and creative expression during our conferences.

The greenhouse in our Westgarden is used by staff, apprentices, and volunteers as a growing space and as a casual gathering place for luncheons, potlucks, and garden workshops.

Our Heartland Campus is dotted with additional structures, some dating to the historic Pietila farmstead. These include the Hull Cabin used by the Place Team, our resident Caretaker’s Cabin, a small cabin for staff use, and a Place Team workshop.
