Ajahn James’ Redwood Hermitage is a Buddhist residence for those wishing to practice in seclusion among towering Redwood trees. Established in the Theravada tradition, it is a serene retreat for people devoted to meditation. The Hermitage is tucked away in a remote valley in the Santa Cruz Mountains of California and borders 1000’s of acres of protected forest. The unique ecosystem of a Redwood forest is intrinsically tranquil and conducive to peace. The simple lifestyle and close contact with nature at the Hermitage reminds one of how monks and nuns lived in the time of the Buddha—literally going back to the roots.
