Fundraising Update ~ July 26, 2025

Dear Jocelyn,

We are excited to share news and photos of the arrival of Walnut and Azalea Hotel buildings to Harbin's Mainside Pool Area. As you may recall from recent newsletters, the new buildings were constructed offsite while foundations were prepared in similar footprints of the historic hotels.

Designed by Lars Langberg Architects and constructed by Elavate Modular, the hotels were carefully set into place, room by room, with expert precision.

Each hotel room arrived with practically everything prepared inside including plumbing and electrical fixtures. It's incredible to see the result of so much hard work and dedication. Yet there is still so much work to be done to finish the buildings before the end of the year.

With the hotel in the final stage of construction and the Restaurant nearing completion, we are now facing significant rebuilding costs. The generous support of our guests helped immensely to get this far. We need to ask for support once again to reach this finish line.

We took big steps planning a decade long project to rebuild Harbin Hot Springs. We accomplished so much, from early fundraising efforts bringing mature shade trees to mainside, rebuilding the Pool Area with the new Therapy Pool, rebuilding accommodations at the Domes and replacing Grove Cottages to provide lodging, and the recently completed Fern Dressing Room and Steam Sauna. The Harbin Restaurant is coming along beautifully and will provide more than dining, also functioning as a welcoming gathering space, climate controlled and hooked up with a backup generator. Now, the arrival of the Walnut and Azalea Hotel buildings is a long-awaited dream come true.

Recently our construction costs have increased greatly. We're asking for a donation of any size to help offset rebuilding expenses. Please join us and we can take these two big steps together to complete these projects.  

We’re asking for your help by clicking the DONATE button to help us complete the Restaurant and Hotel construction. With the Harbin Restaurant just above the Garden on Magic Inn Road, and the hotels just below the pools as they were in the past, you can imagine waking up in your hotel room steps away from the pools and just a short stroll to the restaurant deck.

Heart Consciousness Church and Harbin Hot Springs is now a fifty-year tradition. We open our hearts to your hearts, sharing the beauty that comes when we work together and practice Living in Oneness on this sparkling and magical land. Every year we are closer to our goal of offering the same services and amenities as we did prior to the Valley Fire in 2015, we have more work to do.

We are truly grateful we’ve made it this far. Your support goes a long way.

If you have not visited Harbin in a while, we encourage you to enjoy a vacation back to nature. Spend the day, book a room, or bring your tent and sleep under the stars. Schedule a massage or sign up for an immersive Workshop.

Stepping away from our daily routines to nurture the body and soul helps regenerate the spirit and calm the mind. When we take time to stop and touch the earth with bare hands and feet, we feel more grounded, recharged and are better able to lend a helping hand and share kindness with the world around us. Together, we cherish this opportunity to practice living in Oneness. May we continue to practice Heart Consciousness every day.

We thank you for your continued support and patience during this era of rebuilding Harbin. We hope to see you soon!

Please help us with a donation.
