The Joshua Tree Retreat Center
A 150-acre campus of organic architecture, healing pools, and desert silence. Bungalow guests have full access.
A Campus Unlike Any Other
The Joshua Tree Retreat Center was dedicated in 1941 as a Mentalphysics Spiritual Teaching and Retreat Center. It offers instruction in eastern philosophies adapted for Western audiences, with a focus on Prana, breathing, meditation, yoga, and nutrition.
The 150-acre campus houses an important collection of organic architecture designed by Lloyd Wright (Frank Lloyd Wright Jr.). It is not a traditional resort. Full of architectural gems, it is a homespun campus where people from all over the world come to search for stillness.
Classes, workshops, and activities run year-round. Check the JTRC calendar at jtrcc.org for current offerings. The Homestead Modern team can help book tours, massages, and other activities. Just let us know what you need.
