Accommodation Types

To Register & Pay for Two (+) Guests: Select room type and select # of guests from the dropdown menu to pay with a single credit card.

Shared Room Availability: If space in a shared room with your gender identity is not available, a message will appear when you enter your registration information.

Gender-Inclusive Accommodations
We welcome people of all gender identities and expressions and strive to provide safe, accessible, and comfortable accommodations for everyone.

When assigning shared rooms, we do not place people of different gender identities together unless specifically requested. Our dormitory accommodations are currently designated for men and women. If you would otherwise choose dormitory lodging but our current gender-designated arrangements do not meet your needs, we can work with you to explore alternative accommodations, such as a private room or dorm annex, at the dormitory rate, subject to availability. Please contact register@naturaldharma.org to discuss these options.

ADA Accessible Accommodations: Please e-mail the registrar at register@naturaldharma.org to inquire about availability and instructions for registration.
