Wilbur Hot Springs, Wilbur Springs, CA -

Wilbur Hot Springs is a special place: an ancient ceremonial land and spring-fed geothermal healing waters, removed from the excess and overwhelm of the modern world. Those who are drawn to us understand their place as stewards of the natural world and as human animals deeply connected to the natural rhythms of life and seasonal cycles.

Employment at Wilbur is a unique opportunity to live with the seasons, to enjoy the beauty of the land and the wildlife, to meet interesting people, to be a steward for a healing sanctuary, and to help provide a safe healing space for our guests. All positions include full use of Wilbur’s beautiful facilities and grounds, and some include living on the property.

When you cross the threshold separating the fast-paced modern world from your new home at our unique off-grid retreat (22 miles from the nearest town), you are entering a sanctuary, a refuge from the noise and busyness that define modern life. This land and its healing waters whisper: slow down, quiet your mind, listen deeply.

Here, you can work with a team of lovely employees who understand life at a healthier pace. You can let go, sink into yourself, and reconnect with what matters most. After work, there is little to distract you from the basic tasks of soaking, resting, preparing your meals, and exploring nature.

On our end, we do our best to minimize our impact on the land & its waters. We rely on solar power for our energy, clean with non-toxic products, compost our kitchen scraps, recycle what we can, and plant native or non-invasive species. Our guests do their part to honor the sanctuary by removing shoes inside the hotel, showering prior to entering the flumes, cleaning up in the kitchen, and respecting quiet hours and silent areas so that all may enjoy Wilbur with ease.

Wilbur inspires personal reflection and connection to spirit. Here you might dream, make music or art, have a revelation, grieve a loss, or experience healing. It’s the perfect place to write down your thoughts, have a life-altering conversation, or simply be. It is our hope that you find what you seek here, whether it be renewal, healing, connection, or inspiration. May you experience the many gifts Wilbur has to offer.
