Grounds

High on a hill overlooking Lake Mahkeenac, Kripalu’s campus offers more than a place to stay—it offers space to remember who you are.

Here, nestled in the heart of the Berkshires, MA, you'll find 100+ acres of forest, fields, lakefront, and sacred stillness designed to help you reconnect.

Whether you’re walking the labyrinth at sunrise, hiking through our forests, or pausing on a bench to watch the wind on the lake, this land invites a slower rhythm—one that heals, holds, and brings you home.
