Future Site of Ensō Verde

You’re not imagining it. But you could have.

Welcome to Ensō Verde

Welcome to the realization of a shared vision.
Zen-Inspired Senior Living is coming to southern California.

A Life Plan Community with a focus on mindful aging, the joys of nature, environmental stewardship and healthy life choices for adults 60+, Ensō Verde will feature close to 300 thoughtfully designed contemporary senior living residences on a welcoming campus in the foothills of Ventura County in Southern California.

A Place Like No Place Else.

As a collaboration of the San Francisco Zen Center, a landmark of American Zen practice, and Kendal, a visionary provider of communities, programs and services founded on Quaker principles, Ensō Verde will offer a radical departure from the conventions of senior living as you know them. The residences are contemporary. The culture is inclusive and socially aware. The food is incomparably fresh. The healthcare offering is unsurpassed. And here, life will be active and joyful, as well as mindful.
