Group Retreats
The Occidental Arts & Ecology Center is a rustic and beautiful place to convene organizations, networks, public agencies, foundations and other groups working towards social and environmental change. Just 70 miles from both Oakland and San Francisco, OAEC is a unique gathering space for effective and transformative retreats, workshops or strategic planning meetings in a truly stunning environment.

Each Guest House has:
- shared guest rooms with XL twin beds*, regular twin bunks in yurts

We provide:

Off-site housing:
If groups wish to house additional guests in private accommodations offsite, there are many nearby options that we would be happy to recommend, including the affordable Occidental Lodge which is just down the hill.
