Mount Madonna Center is a conference and retreat center located on 355 acres of
mountain-top redwood forest and grassland overlooking Monterey Bay, between
Santa Cruz and Monterey, in Northern California.
This is
a community designed to nurture the creative arts and the health sciences within
a context of personal and spiritual growth, inspired by
Baba Hari Dass and sponsored by the
Hanuman Fellowship, a group whose talents and
interests are unified by the common practice of Yoga.
Mount Madonna
offers a supportive community atmosphere for relaxation, reflection, and a wide
variety of learning experiences. Program participants are invited to join in all
ongoing Center activities – celebration, work, and play. Amenities include
hiking trails, volleyball, tennis, and basketball courts, a pond
for swimming, a hot tub, a gymnasium for volleyball and basketball, and bodywork
at the
Kaya Kalpa Wellness Center.
The Center provides a peaceful environment for individuals and groups from 5 to
500 to refresh and recharge. Facilities may be used for meetings or workshops,
with vegetarian meals, lodging, and workshop space provided inexpensively for
groups of all sizes. Individuals are welcome to stay with them before or after a
group event, or at another time when some unique rest and re-creation are
wanted.
