This is one of the best places to meditate on the west coast. The gardens are peaceful, beautiful, and serene. There are pond with waterfalls cascading down between them. Swimming in all the ponds are huge Koi. Meditation benches are set up all over the gardens. The monks of SRF take care of the plantings, blessing them and the grounds with their sweet vibration. I love this place so much that I come back every year.

It was mostly, pretty quiet and people were respecting the space for meditation. Not too many selfie-takers. The trickling and flowing water created soothing sounds, the ocean breeze could be felt in certain areas, and there were shaded spaces to sit quietly and reflect. Small space, but well maintained. Some of the tropical climbers are incredibly huge! It doesn't take long to just walk through the entire garden. You can spend 15 minutes there or sit for hours and enjoy.

This place is very special in my heart and I feel deeply connected. The gardens are beautiful and this is such a lovely place to come to capture breath taking views and tranquil atmosphere.

Is this place handicap friendly.

Kurt Brown | Aug 19, 2018
jonna artisan | Aug 19, 2019

If you can walk with a cane I think it would be ok, there are a lot of places to stop and rest. If you are in a wheelchair I would say no. There are stairs, hills and narrow paths that would be impossible. If a guest is blind and has a guide it would be nice. It's quiet and the sound of falling water around the koi pond and the feel of the ocean breeze and the sound of the ocean on the overlook would be enjoyable.
