Fall Meeting October 30 -31 & Novermber 1 - 2
We welcome anybody that wants to start a Peaceful Preparer Center or wants to join the Oregon Coastal Center.
We will be holding two identical Sessions this fall. One session on the weekend and one during the week. Both Sessions will be about our experiences with our Peaceful Preparer Center, our plans, our dreams, our fears, and brainstorming.
There is no charge for either Session if you provide your own lodging. If you want to stay at the meeting resort, the following is the pricing for Eagle Crest lodging.
The Oregon Coastal Peaceful Preparers ARE NOT “back to landers.” We do not want the hardships of homestead. Instead, we like our comforts and are will to prepare for them to continue. That is why we have picked the Eagle Crest Resort for our First Annual Fall Meeting. The Eagle Crest Resort has all the comforts you want in a resort. Just read below.
If two people want to share a bedroom, then both can attend the Sessions with no additional fees. The bedrooms vary with king size beds, queen size beds and twin beds. The early bird gets their choice.

Come and see the new 1800 square foot art gallery filled with the work of talented Central Oregon artists. There are paintings, watercolors, clay & bronze sculptures, raku, stained glass, textile art and more. Located between Niblick & Greens Restaurant and the Silver Leaf Café, their summer hours are 11:30am-7:30pm Monday-Saturday and 11:30am-3:30pm on Sunday.
If you could build a wild, scenic park, tailor-made for recreation, you couldn’t do better than Smith Rock State Park, or, indeed, the entire region around Bend, Oregon. Climbing, fly-fishing, hiking, mountain biking—pick your sport—the region boasts high cliffs, great rivers, beautiful vistas, and hard and fast singletrack (as well as excellent skiing in winter). The resort looks out over the Deschutes River. As you relax on your private deck, watch for eagles—you may see one drop from the sky to pluck a trout from the water.
No matter how you spend your day, make sure you check in for a massage at the full-service health spa. This is real luxury in the Wild West. Smith Rock State Park Mt. Bachelor The High Desert Museum |
