Drala Mountain Center

Hosting more than a hundred group retreats, weekend programs and private retreats every year for over 52 years, Drala Mountain Center is “home” to practitioners world-wide.

While the land will nourish your soul and provide ample opportunity to connect with nature and community, Drala Mountain Center is not a 5-star resort. Accommodations range from clean and comfortable private lodge rooms with bathrooms to dorm rooms with shared bathrooms to tents with access to bathhouses. Our aim is to support your basic needs while you participate in your program, provide a safe, clean and comfortable environment with wonderful food and a staff dedicated to the success of your retreat.
