a decades-long pursuit of community & understanding
Our Center was founded in the early 1960's by a group of Bay Area pioneering individuals. The group was rooted in what was later coined "The Human Potential Movement," and held workshops, retreats and training sessions to explore the big questions of, "Who are we? Why are we here?”
In the decades since, Venture has remained an active retreat, workshop and training hub in Northern California for groups dedicated to personal, spiritual, ecological, and community growth. In addition to retreat groups, we host conscious Bay Area companies who are looking for a unique space for offsite retreats, as well as nature-loving couples who want to create a magical multi-day experience for their family and friends.
