Preserving the redwoods lays the foundation for our deep honor for the environment. Our waters come from local springs and are then filtered multiple times.
   


Our catering is one of the many ways that we support local businesses including local organic farmers. We utilize natural cleaning supplies for our retreat center. We believe that our sustainable practices will encourage our clients and community to honor the environment.
   


In addition, one of the Buddhist rules of conduct we all honor at Pema Osel Ling is that we refrain from killing anything. This includes all of life ranging from the many strolling deer, occasional peacocks, to the very smallest of organisms.

  Some of our practices include:
  • Use solar lighting for the illuminating the trails on our grounds
