Host Your Event with Us

Beyond our own programming, Hope Springs also supports many organizations and groups in holding their retreats and workshops here. 
 

"Open Retreats" are for retreat partners that wish to utilize our sacred land to host your event with us. For us, this is not a venue rental, but rather cultivating an environment and sacred space.
 

We hold a supporting role for these healers, practitioners, and change makers through nourishment, land teachings, and strategic support .

​

The retreats below are happening at Hope Springs and are open for enrollment.

Interested in bringing your group to Hope Springs Institute? Contact us.
