Accomodations
An important aspect of the Kripalu setting is that it offers time away from your daily routines, activities, and surroundings. This frees you to focus on the purpose of this retreat – Creating Your Own Future. Surrounded by the beauty of the Berkshire Mountains, you'll find it inspirational, meditative and serene.
The facility was formerly a Jesuit seminary so accommodations are simple, yet immaculate and comfortable. Kripalu is a place where everything you need is conveniently provided without modern-day distractions like television.
All of Kripalu’s activities take place within the context of a retreat center offering in-depth immersion programs, wholesome meals, saunas, whirlpools and other supportive amenities. Kripalu promotes a healthy lifestyle supportive of learning and positive change.

Eating well is one of the most important things you can do to support your health and spiritual growth.
