World Peace Ashram  a.k.a. Desert Monastery -

 A rustic retreat & community for self-renewal on 80 acres in Northeast Arizona

While we are unavoidably advancing into a new age of global Peace and enlightened human Consciousness, the vestiges of the old paradigms abound and may distract us from being present with our deep inner vision of the unfolding realities and their possibilities.

Here at the Desert Monastery/World Peace Ashram, we live in a very simple way, close to the Earth of the high desert plateau of the Little Colorado River Valley that connects us to the surrounding native tribal lands and the Grand Canyon. 

We live off-grid with solar and wind power generation, and create shade instead of having air-conditioning.  Cellphones often don't work here, and we discourage guests from bringing their technical gadgetry that require re-charging in favor of moderation in the size of our 'power plant.'

What we offer is an opportunity to live with a minimal environmental 'footprint,' to breathe fresh air and have hours free each day to contemplate, to be inspired, to hear the sounds of nature and her devas, the animal kingdoms and their guardian totems, and your own heart and inner teachers.  What we offer is a chance to meet your Self, and to experience your Oneness with All Life.  To become a Cosmic Being in a very quiet and unpretentious way, and thereby to change the world.

We invite you to visit here and to join us - for a few days, a few weeks, a few months, or the rest of your life.  It takes a lot within to have so little around you, and it is therefore not for everyone... but it might indeed be for you, Now.

Read on among these pages and images and impressions, and see if you feel a draw, a call, to come see us.  You need only call and let us know you're coming.
