Ahimsa Lodge
Amidst the pines at the back of the VPT property, rustic Ahimsa Lodge is the perfect escape from busy traffic and the daily grind. Situated a few yards from Bliven Brook, which runs through the center of the property, the back deck of the Lodge offers a place to contemplate the natural beauty of Southeastern Connecticut.
Formerly part of a Finnish camp, the Lodge continues to be used as a retreat space and for summer youth programs. Camp Ahimsa was purchased in 1993 following the acquisition of the rest of the property by Equity Trust, Inc. and the Lodge was renovated in the late 1990’s under the supervision of Chuck Matthei, former Equity Trust Executive Director and founder.
The Lodge features a fully operational kitchen, with dining room and wood-paneled living room, as well as two bedrooms. Dormitory style sleeping accommodations allow for a maximum of 20 people. Two bridges crossing Bliven Brook and a short trail through the woods connect Camp Ahimsa to the main property. Ahimsa Lodge can also be accessed by car off Forge Hill Road.
