Technique(s): Varies

Teacher(s): Varies

Cost: Varies

Accommodations: Dormitory style. I was in a single room

Facilities: Campus style that can accommodate several groups simultaneously. They host meetings as well as retreats. The meditation hall, dining room and some sleeping accommodations were all in one building, with some sleeping accommodations in other nearby buildings. There were 2 other groups there while we were, but I only saw them from a distance when they were out on the jogging trails.

Physical Setting: Woodsy suburban in the suburban Philadelphia locale that inspired All My Children and One Life to Live!

Food (Vegetarian/Vegan/etc.): Vegetarian with vegan options with most, if not all, meals. The cuisine is truly outstanding.

Issues of Taboos around attainment, real practice, disclosing insights, etc.: None of this ever came up, but it would vary from group to group.

Issues of Etiquette: None

Issues of Language: None

Health Issues: None

Logistical Issues: They will come pick you up from the local commuter train station. Close to the Philadelphia Airport (PHL).

Other Comments: You can book time there for solo retreats. The building we were in had a large stone fireplace which was a plus during a coldish autumn weekend.

Overall Impression: Great

Worthy of recommendation on the Dharma Overground? Yes
