My friend would like to go to an Ashram in Northern California.
Any suggestions? Thanks

Hi L84SKY, I have lived in N CA all of my life and I have never even heard of an Ashram. So I am curious..is that a restaurant chain or??? Thanks.

LOL, it's not a restaurant LoveItaly...

Don't feel bad, I had to look it up

Here is one; if it is not what you are looking for they may be able to refer you to another:

Here's one a tad west of me:

another in the Sierra Foothills

and your friend might look into
the Esalen Institute near Big Sur.

Namaste

r5,
I wonder if the one in GeeVee is the one where former NFL football player Ricky Williams hung out during his "vision quest"?

I've actually heard of the Ashram in Grass Valley. I think Budget Travel ran an article a few years back about Ashrams and yoga/ meditation retreats.

Ooooh

Well my face is red, lol. Sorry L84SKY, I should have gone onto Google before asking. Ignorant me! Thank you STW and Razzle and enzian. What is that saying "you learn something new every day".

L'Italy...it's what I did with the remnants of my Macanudo last night.

LOL, Kal!! I think this terrible heat here is getting to both of us!

Thanks for the fast replies everyone!
LoveItaly, I should have been a little more clear and wrote Spiritual Retreat or as I like to think of it "Yoga Camp". Many of the ones I've heard of have silent retreats- I'm just not good at that!

But I'm sure there are more than a few vegi restaurants by that name.

Hi L84SKY, really, I should have gone onto Google before I asked my stupid question. But, hmmm, wonder if there are any veggie restaurants by that name. I sort of live in a "meat and potato" city. Take care!!

Let's just look at it this way...You learn something new each and every day on this forum!

I did get a laugh out of loveitaly's post earlier today and had intended to post that I think besides the already mentioned Ashram in Grass Valley isn't there one in Mt Shasta?
