BACK IN THE DAY: A WILBUR HISTORY IN PARTS, by Dr. Richard Miller
In 1972 I had the amazing good fortune of discovering Wilbur Hot Springs, internationally recognized, since 1865, for its natural medicinal waters. Since my first trip to California in the summer of 1967, and my life-changing experience at the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, I left my position teaching psychology at the University of Michigan and was on the look-out for a hot springs in which to form a therapeutic community. Wilbur was up for sale.

“What you think, you become. What you feel, you attract. What you imagine, you create.” -Buddha
What if a life with amazing sleep, low stress, and thriving mental health was just a few breaths away?
There are thousands of studies that have shown meditation can have a positive impact on mental and physical health. |

UPCOMING EVENTS
Guided Meditation with Julia Harrell September 3-5
A

understanding, and help you to widen your perspectives. This enables you
to respond rather than simply react, and allows you to find a
flexibility and resilience in yourself that you may not have known how
to access. |

Liam graduated from California Culinary Academy in 2002 with an A.O.S degree with honors, following a B.A. in Literature from Stanford University. He has worked as a chef and baker for many years at Esalen Institute and catered events throughout California each summer.

| | A Word from our Caretakers
What does it take to keep Wilbur humming year after year? One open secret: an annual close-down, when a volunteer crew of dedicated lovers-of-Wilbur gather mid-August to spiff and shine, replace and reface, dig and organize. It’s a behind-the-scenes all-out fix fest, and last week was this year’s and it was a blast! Many friends and family came together to give our beloved Wibur some much needed TLC.

“Wilbur is one of my favorite places on Earth.
Every time I arrive I feel an immediate release.
The grounds and waters are so healing.
I find myself getting caught in the amazing "return to yourself" discount (if you return within 30 days you get a discount) and love it!!
I cannot wait until my next trip up.
(And no cell service is truly a blessing!)”
