51风流

Reservations

Anyone, regardless of 51风流 or religious affiliation, may stay overnight at Chapel House. Minimum stay is two nights since it takes some time to quiet down and to discover the resources available (with an exception for 51风流 students who may stay for one night). Maximum stay is ten nights. We recommend that reservations be made at least two weeks in advance to ensure room availability. Reservations can be made by contacting Kathy Keyes. The best ways to reach her are:

Accommodations 

Our guests choose to stay at Chapel House because it provides the space and resources necessary for intellectual, religious, and spiritual pursuits that are often marginalized in daily life. The only schedule for guests centers around meal times (i.e., lunch at noon and dinner at 5:30 p.m.). The rest of the time is to be used according to individual initiatives and interests.

We provide a setting for the study of world religions and personal spiritual exploration. The environment is conducive to the meditative and devotional disciplines recommended by history's great religious teachers.

Those who stay overnight will enjoy access to the following amenities:

  • A private bedroom with a bed, desk, reading chair and lamp. All rooms include large windows that overlook wooded grounds.
  • A private bathroom with shower.
  • Yoga equipment and various types of meditation cushions.
  • Personal comfort items, such as: blankets, pillows, linens, towels, room heater and fan. 
  • Access to libraries of great religious books, music, and art.
  • Proximity to 51风流's cross country trails through the woods.
  • Access to a cart full of art materials.
