Laurel Springs Ranch
With stunning views of the Pacific Ocean, the Channel Islands, Los Padres National Forest, Santa Barbara and Goleta, Laurel Springs Retreat is blessed with a refreshing perspective of the world. But even on a cloudy day, one can enjoy the spacious lawns, tasteful landscaping, organic garden, spring-fed pond, cliff-side jacuzzi and pervasive quietude that compose the main campus. Beyond that are miles of hiking, local wildlife, historical sites and unexpected discoveries, both on our property and into the Los Padres National Forest.

Perched at 2,800 feet elevation, just 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. 
 Laurel Springs Retreat Center
Operating since 2000 with the intention to create a space for varied modes of healing and retreat, Laurel Springs has undergone many physical renovations and improvements to serve this end. The generous application of loving care and the powerful significance of the land, however, remain constant. All who visit this unique retreat site are enriched and rejuvenated.
Types of retreats that have been held here:
~ yoga, movement & bodywork.
~ meditation.
~ grounding ancient spiritual wisdom into modern life.
~ art, as an inspirational bridge.
~ social and generational cross-cultural exchange.
~ youth leadership training.
~ addressing and respecting our planet.
~ exploring the the processes of death, and grieving.
~ vision questing & dreamwork.
