Welcome to Laurel Springs Retreat
Pardon Our Appearance While We Are Building Our New Site.
Tranquil nights -
Invigorating days - Glorious sunsets
Cliff-side views of the softly moonlit ocean.
WE
ARE NOT HOSTING OR OFFEREING RETREATS AT THIS TIME.
Experience
the joyful, rejuvenating power of Laurel Springs Retreat. Take a step out of
the daily grind to refresh your mind, engage your body, delight your soul and
transform your awareness.
Our
goal is to provide a beautiful, safe and meaningful space for groups dedicated
to conscious ways of living. Our retreat center is located on the 160 acre
Laurel Springs Ranch in the hills above Santa Barbara, adjacent to the Los
Padres National Forest.
At
2,800 feet up, we are a 20
minute jaunt from Santa Barbara, but miles away from distraction,
annoyance and routine. The land is dynamic and compassionate, with every new
day providing a fresh array of sights, sounds and smells. The staff is like
family, providing care for guests and the property alike.
