About The Center

The Sierra Meditation Center is nestled in the heart of the Sierra Foothills, a few miles from the beautiful and historic town of Nevada City, California. Our setting is ideal. We are centrally located, yet surrounded by fragrant Cedars and tall Pines. Birdsongs are heard during our sunrise meditations, and deer are often spotted in the twilight of the evening.

Currently, we have a very sweet meditation space open several hours each day for you to enjoy your private meditation practice. The setting is neutral and inviting, yet the lovely decor creates a peaceful and especially uplifting atmosphere. The intention of our space is to create a nurturing and beautiful external environment, in order to help cultivate these same qualities of nurturance and beauty within.

Because our space is limited and to participate in green living, carpooling is strongly advised.  

One special request that we ask of all our guests is to always remove their shoes when indoors. We appreciate the newly refurbished floors and carpets, and look forward to keeping its fresh quality.

Also, there are no drugs, alcohol, or smoking of any kind permitted on the property at any time. We encourage our guests to use their time here as a healthy retreat, and support the deepest levels of consciousness in body, mind, heart, and spirit.

Many of our meditations and programs are offered on a donation basis. Your monetary contribution is an important way of taking part in the existence as well as the maintenance and upkeep of the center. We always have a great sense of gratitude when participants of the center offer their own contributions, in any way that they can.  All offerings are graciously appreciated.

Other ways of contributing to the center are to offer service in various forms. We are currently looking for help in the following areas:

• Long-term planning and logistical management of a 501(c)(3) spiritual center: legal issues, accounting, fundraising, etc.
• Publicity and public outreach
• Computer/website upkeep and programming (local, last minute help especially)
• Small construction / carpentry projects
• Landscaping / gardening / plant care
• Cleaning
• Childcare

Barters are sometimes accepted for private consultations, classes and special events that we offer. If you'd like to explore this option, please inquire.

We welcome you to call to arrange for a private tour of the center, and we hope to see you at our meditations and other offerings.
