Venue
 

ISE Year 1 will be held at Asilomar Retreat and Conference Center, located at 800 Asilomar Avenue, Pacific Grove, Monterey Peninsula, California.
 

This 107-acre protected coastal retreat has been part of the California State Parks system since 1956. Asilomar State Beach is adjacent to Sunset Drive in Pacific Grove, and is part of the Pacific Grove Marine Gardens Fish Refuge and the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. 
 

Many of the buildings were designed by well-known architect Julia Morgan in the Arts and Crafts Style. The goal of this style was not only an aesthetic one, but a healthy one: bring people back in touch with nature and restore balance, health, harmony, and happiness. The buildings have been designed from the inside out, with the main character and expression found in the interiors. Open spaces and natural light dominate, with the craftsmanship of the structures becoming the art of the building.
