Banquet meals consist of delicious fresh foods and luscious desserts. We try to buy organic food products whenever possible. At every banquet, there’s a wide variety of other dishes for all diets and it’s all you can eat. On Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day we serve a traditional turkey dinner with all the trimmings.
Talks in Strawberry start at 9 AM on Saturday & Sunday.
On Banquet Day the festivities go from 8 AM till 3:30 PM.
All the above only $33 for the entire weekend!
(If you can only make it Saturday, it’s $30 for the day.)
Talks in Westminster start at 7:30 PM Friday evening and 10 AM on Saturday & Sunday at May banquet.

There are pre-class activities that start 20 minutes before the hour. So come early to class. Doors open at 7 AM in Strawberry, 8 AM in Westminster and 8 AM in Pagosa Springs on banquet Saturdays. There’s always fresh piping hot coffee ready to go when the doors open. Also, breakfast dishes are served before every class at banquets.
Typically from an hour before the class begins in the morning till 4 PM. If for some reason you can’t stay for the full day of festivities, it is OK to leave at any time. However, it is highly recommended if possible that you stay for the entire day.
You will personally get the most out of it and will benefit by leaps and bounds spiritually from the atmosphere present in the room.
