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.
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.
