Step by Step Directions


  • Take Highway 101 to exit 196, San Luis Bay Drive, and drive east to Monte Road (approx 1,000 feet)

  • At the T-intersection, turn right onto Monte Road, and then continue on Monte Road as it bears left and becomes Squire Canyon Road

  • At the next Y-intersection (approx 2,000 feet), bear left and continue on Squire Canyon Road, passing over 3 speed bumps

  • After the third speed bump, slow down -- Squire Court is a gravel lane on the left, between high evergreen trees, and is easy to miss

  • There are 2 road markers -- on the left, a short brown sign with white letters stating Squire Ct.; on the right, an artisanally crafted steel marker stating CROWS END

  • Be mindful of oncoming traffic as you make the sharp left turn onto Squire Court

  • At approximately 500 feet, carefully approach the large, artisan iron gate; it will automatically swing away from your vehicle, and automatically close after you enter

  • Follow the signs to the parking area, which will be on the right

  • The meditation hall is at the end of the gravel driveway on the left, across from the parking area

  • SPECIAL NOTE: When you leave, the iron gate will automatically swing toward your vehicle; be sure to allow enough room for the gate to open freely
