The Crystal Dome Retreat
Centre
The Crystal Dome Retreat is located on 22 acres of pristine forested land
overlooking the West Arm of Kootenay Lake. We are approximately a 20
minute drive from the charming heritage town of Nelson, British
Columbia and a 20 minute drive to the scenic and well known Ainsworth
Hot Springs. (Should you be arriving from the US, we are about a 3 1/2
hour drive from the Spokane, Washington Airport.) The
Crystal Dome Retreat features 2 large waterfalls and a year round
rushing creek with many beautiful meditation spots in the woods
nearby. The Crystal Dome itself is a
vibrationally attuned example of sacred architecture that serves
as both a holistic retreat centre and a creative arts centre
with a wide variety of events ranging from musical performances to the
annual Tree-of-Life Summer
School. The acoustics of the Crystal Dome are highly
uplifting and vegetarian gourmet dinners on the deck to the sound of
the rushing creek are magical. Children of all ages are
fascinated with the beautiful collection of quartz crystals that are
found on display within the dome. We offer a microcosmos mineral gallery display
of crystalline jewellery and healing tools available for
sale should you be so inclined.
The
Crystal Dome is available for private retreats, guest seminar
workshops, weekend bed and breakfast getaways along with
the contemplative summer schedule that also includes Kabbalah Vision Nest and Astrological Vision Nest retreat
seminars.

the Crystal Meditation Loft to the Starlight Outdoor
Deck! And there are plans
afoot for the spring of 2007 towards the addition of a
creekside bathhouse and yurt plus a pagoda in the
grouse grove for outdoor concerts and dance theatre performances

artists.

and sailing on Kootenay Lake, a climb of nearby Kokanee Glacier,

Creek Provincial Park (or at nearby Queen's Bay beach)

Dome.
