The Breitenbush Credo

Our Mission

We of the Breitenbush Community dedicate ourselves to living mindfully in the spirit of love,

unity, honesty and service.

We see ourselves as guardians of Breitenbush Hot Springs, safeguarding the Earth and healing waters, assuring

their continued availability to all beings who respect them. Our primary service is to provide a healing retreat

and conference center that promotes holistic health and spiritual growth and facilitates

the gathering of people in celebration of the experience of life.

Our community is supported by the services we provide.

We are committed to the health and well-being of ourselves and our families, to live, work, play and grow

together harmoniously. We mutually support and respect each person’s dignity, and awaken to the Spirit within

each of us that acknowledges we are all One.

The community is committed to a lifestyle conducive to holistic childrearing and personal growth.

Our precepts for self growth include personal accountability, honest communication, awareness of our

actions and the quality of their results, directing our energies to the positive, expressing appreciation for what

others do, correcting what is clearly not working for the community or for us as individuals, assuming the

responsibility for creating and sharing abundance, and choosing and re-choosing to be together.

We structure our lives such that we can experience daily the rewards of success, peacefulness and joy. It is

our hope that the thriving community we create will be an inspiration to others in their exploration

of lifestyle and community.

We also extend ourselves to the greater society in which we live, the world community, and commit ourselves

to being socially, spiritually, politically and environmentally responsible.

To provide a safe and potent environment where people can renew and evolve

in ways they never imagined.
