Harbin Hot Springs

Heart Consciousness Church

October 22, 2026

Dear Friends,

Come experience the magic of Harbin's sacred land and water this season. Autumn's colorful leaves and refreshingly cool evenings are a welcome change from the heat of summer. The land feels balanced with earlier sunsets and longer nights.

Traditionally, as we fall into winter, we begin to look within to honor our ancestors as they make their support and presence available in our lives. Turning our attention inwards, we attend to the hearth, bring in the harvest, take stock of our surroundings and prepare for the cold season ahead. 

Notice the resilience of nature and be inspired by its tenacity. Flow effortlessly like water. Transform gently like the seasons. We encourage you to take time each day to slow down and appreciate the exquisite beauty of earth. Your body, mind and soul will thank you.

Read on to learn about upcoming Events at Harbin, a new Spa Services announcement, and links to two more interviews in our Harbin Hearts series!

Brick by Brick

Walnut and Azalea construction is coming along nicely. The buildings were recently painted with the same color scheme as the pre-fire hotels. Each room also received a fresh coat of paint to be ready for the incoming furniture. We're still on track to open the rooms before the end of the year. But construction expenses continue to rise. We need your help!

Can you help? Your support really makes a difference!

For your donation of $500, a custom engraved "Paver Brick" will become part of a new design we're creating near the Stonefront Restaurant entrance. Select from four brick dedication packages including different size replicas you can display on your desk, bookcase or altar. To learn more about our "Brick by Brick" campaign, visit our website or email fundraising@harbin.org.

Book Your Harbin Retreat

Our Mainside Hotel buildings will open soon. In the meantime, Harbin offers a variety of lodging options, day visit passes, and tent or car camping. Visit our website to learn about visit options!

The Harbin Domes are perched high on the hills and offer amazing views of the canyon below. While they are a bit further away from Mainside, staying at the Domes is truly a retreat within a retreat!

Did you know every Harbin Dome Room is unique? Each room has its own shape, style and personality! Some are tiny, some are big. Book a Dome room for your next visit and see for yourself!

There are so many reasons guests return to Harbin year after year; soaking, hiking, dancing, camping, meditation, massage, or simply relaxing. As we practice Heart Consciousness and explore Living in Oneness together, we're building community, strengthening collaborations, and encouraging creative expression ~ for the future. We invite you to join us in exploring the beauty of human connection, spiritual connection and connection with the land here at Harbin Hot Springs.

We hope to see you soon.
