The Eureka Institute exists to cultivate, inspire and encourage people who endeavor to make the world better.
The Eureka Center, our stunning facility in North Idaho, is the premiere lifelong learning and leadership center in the Inland Northwest. It’s an intimate, secluded gathering place where we emphasize skill building, lifelong learning and leadership, and respect for the natural world. Here you will regain a sense of self, deepen your connection to others and feel settled by our peaceful location.
The Center’s wooded landscape has many trails, a bountiful garden, an amphitheater with a stage, a large covered outdoor kitchen and gathering area, a labyrinth, and a challenge ropes course.
The Centers facilities include several buildings built for your comfort. What we call “The Garden House”,a large welcoming community meeting and workshop space includes a full kitchen, indoor and outdoor shower facilities, and two small lofts. This space has been home to a variety of workshops, yoga retreats, and other educational and recreational events.
We offer programs that integrate spiritual, emotional, creative, physical and relational learning. We invite you to attend a program or host one of your own.
