1. Read our SCDC Use Guidelines to make sure we are a good fit for your event.
2. Check our online calendar to see if your dates/times are available. If there is
another event booked by a meditation or study group, you may still book part of
the Center for your event. Approval of your event will be based on the day/time,
size and compatibility.
Be aware that meditation groups meet in the evenings Mon-Thurs, and on
Sunday 11-12 and 6-7, so booking at these times places additional constraints on
your event. Please contact Chris @ 530-588-4941 with any questions.
3. Choose which room or areas of the Center you will need. There are four primary
areas for use. Two meditation halls are located on opposite ends of Center. The
larger Buddha Hall as a 45 person capacity, while the Lotus Room is
approximately one-half that size. There are separate bathroom facilities with
each. There is a central living room/dining room/ kitchen space. There is an
outdoor space which is rather stunning with 3 large Valley Oaks holding court. If
you are unfamiliar with the Center, we encourage you to schedule a visit before
you finalize your plans.
4. Event Fees – A flat fee of $15/person with a minimum total charge of $45, and a
maximum charge of $150. For all-day events, a flat-fee of $25/person with a
minimum total charge of $75, and a maximum charge of $250. No fee is set in
stone. Questions or concerns, please contact Chris.
5. Initiate booking requests by emailing: admin@skycreekdharmacenter.org, or by calling:
Chris Gaffney @ 530-588-4941
If you are in communication with a particular sangha about your event, please have them contact Chris to coordinate.
