Pepper Tree Retreat and Education Center

The Pepper Tree Retreat and Education Center attracts people from all over the world, who come to learn about themselves using Krishnamurti's teachings as a basis for inquiry.

The Education Center hosts speaker panels, dialogue groups, conferences, and study programs within a context of cooperative, shared inquiry into the fundamental questions of human life. The Center is a forum, and takes no positions except to encourage a spirit of inquiry on the part of those who choose to come and participate.

The Education Center includes the Krishnamurti Library and Visitor Center. The Pepper Tree Retreat is also located on the grounds next door. It is open to visitors who wish to enjoy the beauty of the Ojai Valley's tranquil East End for an extended stay.
