About Harbin Hot Springs
Harbin Hot Springs, north of the Napa Valley, is a beautiful and peaceful clothing-optional retreat center surrounded by 1160 acres of warm waters and pristine nature that are the perfect setting for this workshop. Our tantric temple will be the spacious Conference Center with its own private pools, a beautiful 5-minute walk to Harbin's warm pools and the Harbin Hotel.
Accommodation: Since the training takes place in the warmer, dry season, outdoor camping is expected to be very nice. There are excellent camp sites around the Meadow Building (Cycle 1) and the Conference Center (Cycles 2 and 3). If you prefer a private room, you may reserve it for an additional fee by contacting Harbin Hot Springs at (707) 987-2477 or 1-800-622-2477 within California. You can check into your private room from 3:00 pm onwards. We recommend that you reserve your private room well ahead of time to avoid disappointment. Rooms at Harbin are very popular!
