HOW TO PARTICIPATE

In addition to our courses, there are other opportunities, such as tours and events, where you can visit the Center, see our facilities and gardens, and get to know us. Unfortunately, the staff and community at OAEC cannot accommodate drop-in visitors. Please be mindful that the backcountry acreage and community hot-tub and sauna are only available to guests who are staying with OAEC for weekend or week-long courses. If you would like additional information about times we are open to the public, please call our office Mondays through Fridays, from 9 am until 5 pm (707) 874-1557 x 101.

We strive to keep our program fees as low as possible, and to offer scholarships or subsidies to those who would not otherwise be able to participate in activities here.
