Our Mission

Gatheringwith purpose

We are San Francisco Venture, a 501(c)3 spiritual organization, fostering community and connection by providing financially accessible retreat space for nonprofit and mission-driven groups. Through our Venture Retreat Center in Pescadero, we support gatherings rooted in spiritual, creative, and cultural engagement. Venture provides this retreat space in a California coastal redwood sanctuary to foster the spiritual quests, community-building, and connections of our guests.

We also steward sacred Northern California land—preserving its natural beauty and biodiversity—while creating a safe, inclusive environment for reflection and growth. While we serve non-profit and mission-driven organizations coast to coast, our primary focus is the Bay Area and regional community. Our guests are united by a desire for inclusive, democratic gathering spaces, a commitment to healing, connection, and transformation through self-awareness and community, and a preference for nontraditional venues that honor land, spirit, and collective experience.

We are available to individuals and organizations doing work across a broad spectrum of the human experience, with a dedication to radical accessibility, equity, and openness, in a natural setting that fosters authenticity, presence, and transformation.
