Pacifica’s Lambert Road Campus is on the restored and expanded site of a former philanthropist’s 1920s-era estate. The campus is graciously shaded by large oaks and sycamores, with soulful pathways, and inspiring views of the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Ynez Mountains.

The Lambert Road Campus houses classrooms, lecture halls, faculty and administrative offices, the Joseph Campbell and Marija Gimbutas Library, and a Graduate Research Library.

An organic mini-farm covers several acres and produces fruits, vegetables, herbs, and flowers that are enjoyed by students and faculty and staff in both Pacifica dining halls and throughout the local community, moving us closer to our goal of environmental sustainability.

People say that we’re seeking a meaning for life. I think that what we’re really seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonances within our own innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive.

~JOSEPH CAMPBELL

6 | PACIFICA GRADUATE INSTITUTE PACIFICA.EDU | 7 THE GUEST HOUSE

This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival.

A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all! Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows, who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture, still, treat each guest honorably.

He may be clearing you out for some new delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in.

Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.
