My Nonprofit Reviews

Spirit Rock is one of the most beautiful meditation centers in the U.S. and provides a serene and comfortable space for retreats. The Center has a core group of excellent teachers and hosts many guest teachers from multiple traditions around the world. The Center is located in Marin County, one of the wealthiest counties in the U.S. and can feel a bit elitist, drawing primarily middle and upper-class white folks, but there have been concerted efforts to include and respect people from all socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds. The Center is LGBTQ-friendly, and strives to honor women (does pretty well) and transgender people (working on it). Staff, teachers and board members tend to be caring and generous people. The weekly classes and extended retreats are great ways to find serenity in a hectic world. All-in-all, the Center is a gem.
