Stunning Location

Take in the panoramic mountain and ocean views from high on the flank of Mt. Maxwell, near the center of Salt Spring Island. Mt. Baker, one of the highest mountains in the Cascade Range, reveals its grandeur through the clouds.

What’s New

Our 2025 Retreat season is here! This is a critical junction for the World Peace House. If you read our latest newsletter, this may be our last season because of the major losses we have been experiencing. We have had generous subsides over the last few years from various people but we really need to have more people attending courses to justify the expense and volunteer time from the people running and supporting the courses. We are all getting older. We love doing the courses but we need your strong support through attending.

The courses next year will be longer but with the flexibility of doing a minimum of 3 nights. Priority will be given to those doing the full course. When applying just put the number of days you wish to stay and we will calculate the cost and send an invoice two months prior to the course when possible.

We really encourage you to invite your friends who may not have heard about the courses from our newsletters.

We appreciate your participation in our courses at World Peace House. As a not for profit organization, managing our resources effectively is crucial to maintaining our facility. Please read our cancellation policy carefully to understand how late cancellations can impact our operations:

  1. Application Fee: A non-refundable fee of $100 is charged upon acceptance to the course, which is applied to the overall course fee. This covers essential administrative costs.

  2. Course Fee Invoice and Payment: An invoice for the full course fee will be sent approximately 70 days before the course start date, with payment due 60 days prior.

  3. Cancellation Refunds:

    • Cancelling between 30 to 60 days before the course start date entitles you to a 50% refund.

    • No refunds are available for cancellations made 30 days or fewer before the course.

  4. Medical Cancellations: In cases of cancellation due to medical reasons, a 50% refund can be applied to a future course, subject to approval and must be redeemed within 6 months.

    We understand that unforeseen circumstances can lead to cancellations, but it is difficult to fill them unless we have enough time. Our courses are organized and run by dedicated volunteers, who often cover their own expenses. Short-notice cancellations significantly impact their ability to offer these enriching courses.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

“These beautiful advanced programs are the golden keys to living the full potential of life in higher states of consciousness - Enlightenment.”
