KBV's location is in flux!
Due to the water damage earlier this year, we have been asked to leave the house at 260 W Dana St in Mountain View. We are in the process of finding commercial space for a meditation center somewhere in the South Bay, where we can host more practitioners for different programs than we could in a residential space. Please stick with us as we search!
