A community kitchen
The community kitchen feeds 35-40 people. It is a beautiful, sunny inviting space, likely to be a heart of The Stone House.
The good, green earth
The land at The Stone House will help to ground those who come and the work we do together. In addition to hard woods, there is about 45 acres of undeveloped pasture. We plan to use at least some portion of this for organic farming; we're also investigating various conservation options. There's also a cultivated vegetable garden and a small orchard with appl, fig, peach, and pear trees, and a 2-acre pond for swimming.
A place for spiritual life and strategic action
The land has six cabins like this one, for folks on retreat, program participants, or staff. They are all passive solar and hand-crafted by Bo Lozoff and friends from the Human Kindness Foundation. HKF does amazing work with prisoners around the country and they have been living and working in this place for over 15 years.
And this is the main meditation/practice space.
It holds 30-40 people comfortably.
