The Welcoming Place, the class location

Most of the in-person trainings sponsored by the Lancaster School of Psychodrama and Experiential Psychotherapies take place at The Welcoming Place, a beautiful and relaxing retreat center for people seeking a respite from daily life.

Affordable lodging is available in cottages in the campus "village" for those who want to stay overnight.  The group space and guest houses have have free wireless internet access and are accessible to people with disabilities.

The address is: 21 S. 12th St., Akron, Pa. 17501. You may find more pictures, information and directions to the center here.  To make lodging arrangements, contact Karen here.
