Participation options:
$75 for a 5-class pass, $17 to drop in.

NO-ONE turned away for lack of funds. This is important to me and is part of a fuller picture of community engagement.
Please connect with me to co-create a good way to proceed.
The Chapel is a beautiful intimate space in an important building that holds a powerful history, with soft old-growth fir floors, nestled within a therapeutic farm community at the base of Mount Tzouhalem. You'll come straight into the farm acreage. Bike lock-up is available at the entrance, and parking is to the right of the main building. Please be sure to wrap yourself in an extra comfy layer or two, and remember your water bottle.
