Mission Statement

Wellspring provides individuals, families and groups a sacred wilderness setting for renewal of the human spirit in harmony with the environment. While rooted in the Judeo-Christian tradition, Wellspring honors the insights and practices of all religious and spiritual paths.

Wellspring is a retreat center for groups and individuals located on 50 acres of redwood forest near the small town of Philo in Mendocino County. Nestled among the redwoods adjoining Hendy Woods State Park, Wellspring is a place of natural beauty graced with sunny meadows and the flowing Navarro River. We can accommodate meetings, weddings, spiritual retreats, workshops or other special events with our farm house facility and large dining room. It's four lodges, five cabins, and campgrounds provide beds for up to 65 people with additional space for up to 75 people in the campgrounds.

Visitors may choose to hike or bike ride through the redwood trails, take a refreshing dip in the swimming hole, or visit the library or the magnificent organic garden filled with vegetables, fruits and flowers.

Wellspring offers programs and experiences which encourage spiritual renewal, creativity and self-discovery in the majestic beauty of nature. Groups and individuals are welcome to bring their own programs and creativity to the Wellspring experience or use it for vacations and personal retreats.
