Wilbur Hot Springs - May 2012 Newsletter

In all the world, no waters like these...

TIME TO SLOW DOWN

Wilbur is the perfect place to slow down, relax and reflect. Watch the clouds. Float in the flumes. It's OK to unplug, turn off your phone and your computer. Shift into slow gear. We live in a fast paced world where it seems hard to make time for ourselves.



GUEST CHEF WEEKEND Guest Chef Weekend: May 18-20, 2012 with chef Marion Cascio. For more information on guest chef at Wilbur,.Click Here.

EVENTS Yoga with Sarana Miller/Guest Chef Weekend with Marion Cascio: May 18-20.
		Please join Sarana for a weekend of breathing, chanting, asana and soaking in the healing mineral waters of Wilbur. Come strengthen your practice while relaxing and rejuvenating your body and mind. We'll step back from our daily routines and retreat to this sacred land, home to healing waters that have been used for renewal for centuries. Students will practice yoga on Wilbur's beautiful yoga deck, cradled in nature with the sounds of the breeze and the creek. We will begin each day with chanting and pranayama, followed by breakfast and then an active morning session. In the afternoon there will be time for bathing, hiking, massage and personal time. We will gather in the late afternoon for a restorative session followed by a delicious dinner. For more information about registration, or class times, visit our website here, or contact Sarana directly at [email protected].

NOTES FROM THE CARETAKER

Dear Friends of Wilbur:

This last month has been one of challenge leading to examination of my values. I have watched as three people whom I care about a great deal, and love very much, have been faced with significant personal hardships. A threat to a family member’s very life brings into focus what really matters in our lives and how we spend the precious moments of our lives. For the past 40 years, Wilbur has been the place where I consider these large topics. It is also where I go when I have major life decisions to make. Whether it's while immersed in the waters, or hiking in Wilbur's Nature Preserve, the time of uninterrupted introspection has always proved valuable.

The sign on the road, as you are driving in, says, “Time to slow down.” And the depth and truth to this statement is increasingly more meaningful and apparent to me. I hope that each person who visits Wilbur will take the time to slow down, and appreciate the moments of introspection and nature as I do. I look forward to chatting with you at Wilbur. I am the very tall, lean man with the smiling eyes and laughing heart.
