Community Space

Event space just for you.

As a non-profit trying to make the world a better place, it’s important for us to be able to provide a space to EVERYONE for teaching, the arts, play, and building community. We can do this by offering our space at no cost to you at times when it’s not being booked for other, bigger events.

If your event is less than one month from today, on a weekday, and you book at least one guest room - you can use any space (including The University, full grounds, forest, and east/west lawn) at no extra charge for any event of 0-15 people. We just ask that you set up and clean up whatever you’re up to. If it’s more than 15 people and still within this time frame, give us a call and we can work something out. Depending on your event, there will likely be a small upcharge.

Need to plan ahead? You can reserve a winter weekday event space at any time no matter how far in advance you need it.

Do your needs not qualify for one of our free options? Head over to our event pricing page for more details.

How do I reserve the space and what’s the catch?
