Far Horizons Retreat Center is located in the Sequoia National Monument. Its breathtaking natural setting is home to an extensive schedule of programs and retreats. The center is affiliated with the Theosophical Society in America. According to its web page,

Far Horizons Retreat Center was founded in 1954 by G.V. and Mary Hull. The camp was created as a practical experiment in applying theosophical principles to daily life. The Theosophical Society is a worldwide organization founded in 1875 and dedicated to better understanding our place in the universe as well as the purpose and meaning in our lives.[1]

Facilities include a main hall, kitchen, guest cabins, amphitheater, and fire pit. The website lists program schedules and downloadable brochures, photographs, activities, housing options, camp rules, and news.
