New Year message from Sylvia Boorstein!

As we begin this new year, I continue to be as excited as ever, maybe even more, by the sense that what we are doing together as a community is ensuring the future of Spirit Rock Center as a place that will continue to remind people world-wide that peace is possible in our world, in our lifetime.  It will take a community to realize our vision.


It Takes a Community

Greetings friends of Spirit Rock, I have some exciting news to share with you. Spirit Rock’s Master Plan Amendment has been approved, which means we are moving forward with our original vision to build a permanent Community Meditation Hall and Staff and Teacher Village on the Spirit Rock campus. To make all this happen, we are going to need your support, so I am very excited to tell you about our first fundraising initiative which we are calling the Sangha of Thousands of Buddhas. This is very much about a community of supporters coming together and sharing equally in building Spirit Rock. So it is with great joy that I invite you to join us. Please read my invitation letter.

A New Community Meditation Hall
to Support Our Sangha

Located in a serene open grassland hillside setting, with an outdoor terrace and arrival space, the new Community Meditation Hall will create an environment conducive to practice and will form a respectful setting for the precious teachings we offer.

If you’ve attended classes in the Community Hall or volunteered in our administrative offices, you’ll know that the conditions here are not sustainable: dilapidated trailers, challenging lay-out, difficult logistics. This next building phase will be the second of four phases that will complete the approved 1988 build-out of the Spirit Rock campus. Designed by local notable green architectural firm Hart Howerton, our permanent new buildings with green design functions will improve all aspects of Spirit Rock’s programs and operations.
