The Gardenview Room and Dining Room, both located on the lower level of the Peace & Spirituality Center, offer inviting spaces for group gatherings. The Gardenview Room, featuring comfortable couches, armchairs, a fireplace, and bookshelves, provides a cozy, living-room-style environment, perfect for smaller groups or intimate discussions. French doors from both the Gardenview Room and the Dining Room lead out to a patio, which has tables, chairs with umbrellas, and access to the Meditation Garden.

The lower level, including both rooms, is booked as a whole to ensure privacy and flexibility for your event. Whether your group is using the Gardenview Room and enjoying meals in the Dining Room or you’ve booked the entire Center, this setup provides a seamless experience for reflection, conversation, and connection. The Dining Room is also a great option for meals, either for those using the Gardenview Room or for larger groups renting the entire Center.

Additionally, this level includes separate restrooms and a convenient kitchenette equipped with a dishwasher, coffee makers, and a microwave, though it does not have a stovetop or oven. For groups requiring cooking facilities, the Catering Kitchen, also located on this level, can be requested in advance.

The Meditation Room, another quiet option for reflection or as a breakout space, is also located on the lower level and available for group use.
