On August 28, 1946, Mabel Dodge Luhan outlined her future vision for her home in a letter to her friend, Alice Sprague. She shared her aspirations that her home would be a retreat for “the movers and shakers of the earth...to relax and recover their energy...the scientists, artists, statesmen, creators, promoters of values and changers of the world...

These are the people I have always sought out.” She added her hope that her home would always remain “very consciously devoted to an ideal.”

If Mabel could return to her home today, she’d most certainly breathe a sight of relief that her vision has been preserved through the workshops and conferences, the participants and instructors who bring their work to the home on Morada Lane.

“Logic tells me that a house can’t make people come to it. But something about it and Mabel and its history has created a king of force field that continues to attract people.”
