HOUSING AND MEALS

The 2024 Summer Institute will be held at Lewis & Clark College, where you can spend time with faculty and fellow students during meals, enjoy spontaneous conversations when on break and visit with each other in the dorm’s common areas.

The residence hall is a short 5-minute walk to the teachings and meditation sessions. It has laundry facilities and Wi-Fi and high-speed internet. There are also lounges on each floor, a kitchen and a game room.

HOUSING

A limited number of dorm rooms are available. Register soon after registration opens in March to secure yours!

All students will automatically be given a private room, though some will be equipped as doubles and others as singles. When you register, you can request to share a double room with another student if you would like. The rooms have closets, dressers and desks. The bathrooms are down the hall and have private shower stalls.

MEALS

The college’s food service provider is Bon Appétit, the same one used by Willamette University. They take special care to offer students many different meal options with vegan and vegetarian selections always available. And with their “Farm to Fork” initiative, the college’s dining service strives to utilize locally sourced options from farmers around the Pacific Northwest whenever possible.
