Renting the Aspen Chapel

Inside

 

The Aspen Chapel was founded in 1969 with the mission to create a place for people to gather in lively encounter, and to question and seek relevant answers to issues facing contemporary society. This is a center for retreats, meditation, special services open to all, for musical presentations, for exhibits of art and literature and any other effort to seek paths leading to brotherhood and peace.  
 
Following a significant renovation in 2014, we are happy to open our building up to the public for rentals.
The Sanctuary, the Gallery, the Garden area, and individual rooms are available as rental space. Rates and contact details are listed on the back page.
 
The historic Sanctuary can hold up to 150 chairs for a seated event or 250 people for a standing reception. This room is wired with a state of the art Multimedia Center that can project films or record and live-stream your event to family and friends unable to attend. Use of the media system comes at an additional cost - see back page for pricing. All of the chairs are movable and we are able to set them in various arrangements depending on your specific function. The entire top floor is lit by beautiful stained glass windows surrounding the entire building.
 
The Gallery is located downstairs in the building. This space can hold 90 people for a seated event and has screens that are available to watch all activity happening upstairs, if needed. It can fit up to 150 people for a standing reception. Tables and chairs are available upon request. There is also a kitchen attached to that gallery are which is available for use along with any rented space.
 
During summer months, we offer the Garden area as a beautiful additional gathering space before, during, or after indoor activities. It is also available to rent on its’ own. The space can accommodate up to 200 people and outdoor tables and chairs are available for use.

Planning your Visit

Hi there!


unnamed (9)

We are Nicholas and Heather Vesey
We lead the services here at the Aspen Chapel most Sundays.
Have a look around our site. There are plenty of fee courses to watch from our 'Wisdom from the Top of the World' page. Click here to go to it

If you are planning on a visit, here is some information as to what to expect:

When: We meet every Sunday at 9.30am for about an hour. If you cannot make it in person, you can live stream the event by clicking here.

Where: We are the chapel by the roundabout as you come into aspen. Specifically here.

What: We (Heather and Nicholas) come from a Christian Episcopal background, however our community draws from all the world’s wisdom traditions with the aim of learning together to live our lives more skillfully.

Every week we will focus on a topic within a theme.

GuernicaAt the moment we are looking at what the topic of 'Being at Peace'
How do we experience being at peace, and what is the connection to the nature of our 'being'.
When our 'being' is at peace, are we at peace?


We will have a musician who will set the mood for the event. That might be guitar, piano, or any other instrument. They will generally play 4 pieces throughout the service.

There will also be prayer and meditation, generally led by Heather, and Nicholas will give a talk on the topic for the day.

Finally, there is an opportunity for discussion and feedback as we pass the microphone around for everyone to join in.

Kids? We also offer childcare with younger children being looked after and given creative ways to look at a topic for the day.

Coffee and Yummies. After the service there is a food and drink reception for everyone to get to know each other a bit more.
