Study Stays

These study stays are meant to provide a supportive setting for sustained self inquiry, with J. Krishnamurti’s teachings as a resource. To that end, you will have access to our library, a support person and a serene ocean-front setting.

We provide a private room, as well as cooking facilities, bedding and towels. A few rooms have ensuite bathrooms and these are available on a first come basis. Please note that meals are NOT provided and cooking is vegetarian only!

We are located in a rural ocean-front setting on the outskirts of Victoria, BC, Canada. Since there are steep cliffs, uneven terrain and other natural hazards on the property you will be asked to move about with care and agree to a liability waiver.

Transportation options include your own or a rented car, taxi or bus service, with a 10-minute walk to the nearest bus stop. A restaurant and grocery store are a half hour walk away. Free Wi-Fi is available onsite.

KECC is a registered charitable organization with an educational mandate. To remain charitable, a structured format and a study plan is required by Revenue Canada. Thank you for your understanding and collaboration.

We ask that you create your own personal study outline based on your preferences for inquiry. It includes the key themes or questions you would like to explore. This can be created in collaboration with your support person at the beginning of your stay if desired. Your stay includes the library as a main study resource, as well as daily meetings with your support person to explore any questions you may have.

To help with your personal study, we ask that you maintain an outline or log of your study activities, such as use of the library and videos. At the end of your stay we ask that you hand in a brief summary about your stay at the Centre. This may include the key themes of your personal study program and any insights or reflections that may have emerged during your stay.

Study stays are available from April – October and can be booked for 6 nights at a cost of $650 CAD (about $470 USD).  Accommodation taxes (8%) apply.

We feel that the 6 night programs are more conducive to self inquiry, and encourage you to choose this option if at all possible. If that is not possible, some 4-day study stays are available or can be requested. See the Study Stay Bookings link below for available dates (shorter stays are shaded).  The fee for shorter study stays is $120 CAD/night (about $85 USD/night) plus taxes. Financial assistance may be available.  Please contact the program manager for details.

Check-in on the first day is after 4 pm, or by prior arrangement.  Check-out is on the last day, before 11 a.m.
