I have deepen my walk with God and my understanding of the Bible. Through the Bible studies offered during the week, and volunteering and serving, I have met a lot of wonderful like minded people. There is also a great mix of young families, adults, seniors, etc. It is a very healthy church body, all learning from one another and encouraging one another. (FYI, They have a sister church or church plant called Open Door in Lee, MA for those that Pittsfield is to far. I have been to both, and also recommend that.)

Over the years, the center has grown, but it has always retained its charm and mission: to be a place for reflection and connection and the expression of love - for our fellow beings as well as for nature, creativity, and fun. It is not corporate-luxurious, but beautiful and comfortable in an old-fashioned way. Guests can help out by doing chores or donating money and goods. The staff will do their utmost to accommodate dietary and other needs, everyone is friendly and helpful, the atmosphere is one of unstuffy and natural cooperation. There is a sizeable property, including a pond (swimmable), bonfire places, a campground, nature trails, and farms nearby. Give them a try!

I didn't find them passive-aggressive at all - I found the "New Age" crowd more embodied that. For example, I can cry quietly during the service at Living God. However, at the local yoga places, they didn't want anyone to actually show a living emotion! It was so strange ... Christianity is thought of as repressive, and the yoga crown generally thought of as more "free," psychologically, but in my experience, it's been the opposite. Anyhow /endrant ...

The natural beauty of the land it sits upon can alone bring one to the entrance of Infinity.

Whether you wander up on a sleepy Wednesday morning and just say hello to some of the resident workers or you go for an event such as the Dances for Universal Peace, you will meet people, true of heart, who have come for one simple thing; to reconnect with their soul, with all of nature, with existence itself.

I met all the ministers and ppl who devoted their lives there as to serve others, learn and study Korean Taoism and WON Buddhism. I love everyone I have encountered and not to mentioned their yummy nutritious meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner). I love the mindful eating virtue every morning. It was silent breakfast. We greeted each other with a nod, a bow and a smile. The minsters and staffs are welcoming and friendly! Everything is mindfulness practice. From closing the door gently to peeling the egg. I observed and I learned from them. I have always loved the Korean or Asian culture and foods! After the retreat l, I got inspired to recreate the vegetarian dishes at home. I kept reminding myself to get in touch with nature more and the simplicity of life. I would love to study more of the Buddhism, meditation and more with the ministers and my teacher!
