We are kicking off our Summer Season in style Memorial Day Weekend! Join us to celebrate our 24th birthday and count down to a quarter century in 2025! We are celebrating with an unforgettable banquet, captivating live entertainment, and enriching workshops tailored to deepen our sense of community and understanding. Our anniversary weekend is special time when we get to celebrate Easton Mountain's past, connect with each other in the present and and envision the future together. Explore an extensive range of workshops covering spirituality, artistic expression, conscious touch, mindfulness, yoga, cultural exploration, and more. It's a celebration of connection, growth, and the vibrant spirit of Easton Mountain. In addition to the birthday celebrations and workshops, as always, you can look forward to reconnecting with the land, greeting new friends and old, hiking the trails, enjoying conversation in the Sun Room, hitting the pool, the sauna and hot tub, delicious home-cooked meals and more! This long weekend is great for Easton regulars and Newcomers alike!
Our events de-emphasize alcohol and other legal substances. Some events may feature a reception or deck party where limited alcohol is available. While we do not require abstinence, we are interested in supporting conscious connections, and wellness in the lives of those we serve. We provide space for 12-step meetings for those who would like to attend them, and we support people making choices regarding their own well being. Illegal substances will not be tolerated.
