Hillside is a Swedenborgian urban sanctuary, spiritual community, and hub of practical mystical spirituality in El Cerrito, adjacent to walking trails, oak forests, grasslands, and sweeping views of the San Francisco Bay, and richly aesthetic indoor spaces.
Architecturally inspired by Lloyd Wright and constructed in 1951, the principal building at Hillside emphasizes floor-to-ceiling glass walls to provide an immediacy of the outdoors within the earth-tones interior space.
Year-round, one can discover an array of programs to feed mind, body, and spirit. Owned, cared-for, and shared with the larger public by the Swedenborgian Society of the East Bay, Hillside exists to foster the spiritual well-being of many groups and individuals on their personal mystical journey.
