Discounts are available for programs offered at the Center in Ascutney, and facilitated by Zacciah, for:
All members of APOV, VMG, and NESHRI.
These are the Association of Psychotherapists of Vermont, the Vermont Massage Guild, and the New England Sound Healing Research Institute.  In support of their efforts to further the goals of holistic practices in the region, we seek to assist their memberships in furthering their personal and professional skills.  A 10% discount is being offered to members of APOV, NESHRI, and VMG.
For those pre-registering in, and pre-paying, multiple workshops at the same time, 10% on each workshop.
For those pre-paying any workshop in full, at least 30 days in advance, 10%.
For anyone whom has attended one of Zacciah's programs previously, whom brings a new participant to one of Zacciah's workshops, 20%.  This would be arranged prior to a workshop with Zacciah.  This is for each new participant you bring whom has not previously attending one of Zacciah's workshop.  If you bring 5 new individuals, you attend at no cost. 
For our sound healers trainings, anyone attending the same sound healers training previously, facilitated by Zacciah, will receive a 30% discount on that program. 

Discounts cannot be combined, and must be requested at the time of registration.
Discounts apply only to programs offered in our Center in Ascutney, facilitated by Zacciah.

Again, we accept

Accomodations      *   Campgrounds

The Center of Light does not offer residential services for retreat or weekend workshops.  However, we wish to assist you in finding quality accomodations for your stay, as well as to assist where we may in making your stay in this region more enjoyable, rewarding, and fulfilling.

By inclusion in this list, the Center of Light endorses none of these lodgings, and assumes no responsibility for your experience with them.  We simply offer their listing for assistance in finding lodging in the area during your stay.  Most accomodations listed as an "Inn" are quality private Inns or B&B's, most listed as "motels", which are not large known chains, are listed due to proximity or affordability, but may not be the highest quality rooms available (we do not include any we do not feel meet basic acceptable standards of cleanliness & upkeep, but this can be a very personalized thing...)  You may call or ask for further clarification. 

We can also assist with other areas of interest you might wish to include during your stay in this pristine area, filled with opportunities for rich outdoor and indoor experiences (hiking, canoeing/kayaking, climbing, hanggliding, theater, museum, dining....)

We often dine out after a program, and often invite you to gather with us, extending the experience of deep community we are building in this area through our work and programs.  We occasionally provide other experiences in outdoor settings the day after a program (hikes, ceremony in sacred places, for instance.)
Feel free to ask if any such event is planned when you are attending.

Lodgings are listed in the following towns, approximate times given to drive to the Center of Light.
Springfield 15-25 minutes, Brownsville, 10-15 minutes, Windsor 10 minutes,  Claremont 5-10 minutes.
Perkinsville 20-25 minutes, Weathersfield, 20-25 minutes, Grafton 40-45 minutes, Chester 25-30 minutes
time differences depend on specific lodging location.
