Into the Wild…
Nestled among ancient redwoods and just an hour’s drive from San Francisco, San Jose, and Santa Cruz, Venture is an ideal destination for Bay Area groups planning wellness, spiritual, artistic, or personal growth-related retreats. The property also hosts magical family & friend getaways, corporate retreats, and unique overnight weddings!
Retreat reservations provide scholarship support for our primary mission of welcoming all people to gather and build community. The Center's culture of humanistic values and land stewardship provides a positive, safe energy that permeates every corner of our special spot and leaves a lasting impact on each of our guests and visitors.
“Being inside a warm yurt, sitting in a circle, in the floor, with light coming from the middle of the circle. It was almost ritual. We were inside this warm womb of safety.”
Discover tranquility in a vintage cabin, unite your group in our Serenity Yurt, indulge someone with our opulent safari tent, or delight the fun-seeker with an utterly vintage teardrop trailer. Complement these with an assortment of glamping tents, including the spacious and breezy Lotus Mahals (~700 square feet) and a range of ten-foot and thirteen-foot belles. Blend these spaces to craft the ideal backdrop for a rejuvenating retreat in nature.
