What Makes the Abode So Special?
The Abode is a Resource
There is so much possibility here on our 300+ acres! You can participate in a retreat, take a class, join us for Sunday Workship, Sunday Brunch or book a space for hosting your own program!
Enjoy all the Abode has to offer and return to the world refreshed and renewed.
You can book a stay for a large group, visit the Abode for the day, or look to our current offerings. However you wish to be a part of the Abode, make it your own sanctuary.
The Abode is a Sanctuary
We believe deeply in the process of orientation in nature and that the preservation of our Earth’s wild spaces is fundamental to its future. Located where the Berkshire Mountains meet the Taconic Hills, the magnificent property of Mount Lebanon and its surrounding lands consists of over 300 acres of forest, field, and stream.
Beauty as observed in nature is an invitation to wonder about the deeper connections of all living things. From this space it becomes ever more evident that our natural world is deeply important to the understanding of the potential in all. We invite you to explore and experience that here.
Our spaces, both inside and out, are available to host programs.
For inquiries, please contact us at programs@theabode.org
We look forward to welcoming You to the Abode!
The beauty and inspiration we all experience at the Abode property is a part of our founding teacher’s legacy. As we look to the future, we keep his words close to heart…
“While I hope that some of the skills and meditations that I have presented will be helpful to you, they are useful only as a ladder in attaining the essential objective—awakening consciousness and conscience in everyday life.”
