Guests enjoy refreshments in the "stone room" with a roaring fire adding to the peace and beauty of the mountain view. An outdoor deck looking over the pool and upper hot tub to the expansive vista is perfect for summertime breakfast.

Additional activities are offered, including study days, meditation weekends and seminars, Sanskrit classes, weekend retreats, and a variety of special events. Special-interest study groups are also periodically formed in the arts, literature, and sciences, depending on student interests. The ultimate aim of all the Foundation's activities is that each student experience greater self understanding and fulfillment, with a correspondingly greater effectiveness, satisfaction, and ability to contribute in life.
