Stillpoint: A Center for the Humanities & Community is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting a sense of community through the humanities. We work toward this through a small number of events each year, including poetry readings, writers workshops, author talks, music programs and other forums for experiencing and understanding the meaning of community in our lives.

The Stillpoint Center’s namesake is the former hermitage founded by Gia-fu Feng. When Gia-fu died in 1985, the community he developed dispersed. Gia-fu left the land’s care in Margaret Susan Wilson’s hands. Her commitment and vision saved Stillpoint from commercial development and preserved the land for more appropriate use. Sadly, her untimely death led to yet another transition for Stillpoint. The Stillpoint Center continues to pursue Gia-fu’s inspiration and Susan’s vision for community.
