Tepeyac Guesthouse

Tepeyac is the residential expression of the Center for Action and Contemplation; living out the CAC's vision, philosophy, and mission.

It is home to Guest House Managers, Jim and Kathy Nolan. Tepeyac has also been the temporary home of people from all over tepeyac rose gardenthe United States and all around the world. Interns, private retreatants and, visitors come to Tepeyac for a variety of reasons. With such diversity, the energy level and communal environment is always changing. Regardless of the many comings and goings, Tepeyac maintains a warm, welcoming, contemplative atmosphere.

Tepeyac is an older adobe home that can comfortably accommodate 10-12 people. During full internship programs, the house is closed to private retreatants. Although there are a few single bedrooms, it is common during an internship program for people to share bedrooms and bathrooms. While the guest house is located in a residential neighborhood, people often comment that the backyard feels very rural. The chickens, the gardens, and the large 150-year-old cottonwood tree contribute to this atmosphere. We seek to embody values of simple living and environmental sensitivity. In an effort to model a more simple, sustainable lifestyle, we maintain different types of organic gardening projects and serve vegetarian meals.
