 Campuses

Naropa is comprised of three campuses in Boulder, Colorado—all linked by public transportation or a short bike ride.

Each campus houses distinct departments, and the Society for Humanistic Psychology Conference will be held at our Nalanda Campus at 6287 Arapahoe Avenue, Boulder. CO 80301.  The main conference space will be in the Event Center, and breakout spaces will be nearby classrooms.

Home to the School of the Arts and the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics, the Nalanda Campus was recently expanded and renovated to add new classrooms, lounge space, a café, and art studio spaces for pottery, sculpture, and media arts.
