Venue

Once a bed and breakfast, this venue nestled in the hills of the Sonoma Coast is an ideal space for retreats. We worked hard to find lighting, seating, whiteboards, etc. that help nudge gatherings toward warmth, clarity, and reasoning.

If you’re interested in booking, or have questions, contact us at venue@rationality.org – we’d love to talk.
