THE REFUGE

THE REFUGE PAGE.. this page is a place for us to share our events with you, our community, and offer you the opportunity to participate in a variety of events such as music, movies, dance, workshops and more. stay tuned as these events unfold

OUR COMMITMENTS: we are committed to...
...operating on the principles of Sacred Reciprocity.
...living from peace, compassion and a commitment to awaken in every way possible.
...opening our doors to all who feel called to be here.
...sharing healthy-for-people, health-for-the-planet foods and beverages at our events.
...becoming a no-plastic zone to the very best of our ability.

OUR REQUESTS...
...if you wish to support our mission and events, we gratefully and gladly receive your gifts in order to continue to serve you, our community.
...please come with peace in your heart, bring only peaceful intentions and behaviors leave anything other than those (i.e. weapons and misdirected anger) outside the gate.
...*PLEASE PARK IN THE LOWER PARKING AREA for larger events (follow the signs) and pull as far forward as possible, on a diagonal, to allow as many vehicles to fit as possible.
...PLEASE SAVE the "Reserved Parking" spot (in front of the "Casita" at the top of the driveway) for our airbnb guests. for Temple events, if you need to drop someone off (such as elders, handicapped and workshop facilitators/presentors), you can do so at the patio "loading zone" area, then park below.
...PLEASE ARRIVE NO EARLIER than 15 minutes before an event (unless specified differently in any event). since this is our home, we are trying to make sure to preserve our private space as much as possible.
...please use the Temple Entry doors (rather than our home front door) if you are coming for an event (ditto above...).
...PLEASE, in honor of our goal of supporting local, organic farmers, DO YOUR BEST to bring only whole foods (i.e. no GMO, sugar, gluten, palm oil) for potlucks and/or snacks, organic tea/beverages.
...PLEASE HELP US BECOME PLASTIC-FREE: bring potluck items in non-plastic containers with non-plastic wrappers and TAKE HOME any items you bring with you (plastic or otherwise).

THANK YOU for honoring our commitments and requests. this helps make our events flow more smoothly and honors the privacy of those living here.
