Rachana Retreat
Redmond, Washington,
United States
 Rachana is a spiritually based intentional community of diverse individuals committed to healthy, conscience living. We are a community where the diversity and uniqueness of each member are honored and respected at all times. At Rachana our commitment to one another is to have a community that works for everyone with no one left out. We are a community that holds the point of view that we create and are responsible for our own reality.
The Rachana Community occupies 15 pristine acres of land in Happy Valley just a four-mile drive from Redmond, Washington. We enjoy a 7,000-square-foot community center with an indoor swimming pool, a hot tub, a TV/VCR viewing room, and facilities for many other related activities. We are surrounded by a greenbelt of evergreen trees and vegetation providing complete privacy for the rustic cabins and shelters occupied by our members and guests. Our land contains a wildlife sanctuary for many species of birds and animals with a small private lake and nature trails to explore. In the summer months we have camping, sunbathing, and recreational facilities available to our members and guests.
