What this is

Woodacre is a small unincorporated Marin County community in the San Geronimo Valley, an inland valley protected by the steep oak-and-redwood ridges of west Marin from the bayside development pressure to the east. The valley has been a back-to-the-land and contemplative-practice geography since the 1970s, and it holds [[spirit-rock-meditation-center|Spirit Rock]]‘s 412-acre campus — the principal West Coast institution of the Theravada-derived insight-meditation tradition.
