We welcome you to our house, offering a meeting space which has a peaceful and spacious atmosphere for workshops, daylong retreats, ongoing classes, and seminars. We request that no alcoholic beverages be served on site, and that smoking occur outside only.

History

The Marin Subud house structure was originally part of the Sausalito ship yards during World War II. After the war ended, surplus buildings were demolished or moved. Around 1954, the Marin County Sherriffs Association acquired two of the buildings, and moved them to the current location on 100 Sacramento Ave, where they were joined to make one large hall, with a rear addition for kitchen and entertaining space. It became their training barracks, and the driveway along one side of the building was where they had their shooting range. The flag pole in front of the building still bears their dedication: "Dedicated to a better and safer community." The Shriners owned the building for a period of time, then in 1971 the Marin Subud group acquired the property, and has owned it ever since.
