The Tuttle Creek Ashram is a historic building from 1939. It is located in the Sierra Nevada, in Inyo County, California. The building is on a cliff between two forks of Tuttle Creek. It is associated with the philosopher Franklin Merrell-Wolff.[1]
It was originally called the Ajna Ashrama, but Merrell-Wolff's modern students refer to it simply as The Ashrama. Locals gave it the name The Monastery and some hiking guides call it The Stone House. Its more widely used name, Tuttle Creek Ashram, was given to it by the United States Forest Service.[1]
