Willowtail Springs always adds a new dimension to the possibilities of enriching your visits with us.  For several years artists, writers, and photographers have done their creative work during their stays here.  Many guests have also simply enjoyed their time as an opportunity to meditate, unwind, play and open more fully to their lives and their ideas.

Think of waking up in the morning to an hour of Tai Chi or Yoga beside the lake, in sunny glade, amid lush gardens or in a high meadow overlooking the sacred cliffs of Mesa Verde. Guests speak often of the inviting, inspirational qualities of the land and the gentle power of the insights, healing and creativity they receive at Willowtail Springs.

The secluded lodgings provide ideal surroundings for contemplation or work space.  Time flows in a nurturing atmosphere combining learning with companionship or solitude.

Be surprised and renewed by the gifts of this land in an organized workshop or simply as a special piece of your vacation experience at Willowtail Springs

"Thanks so much for another beautiful, idyllic respite.  This is a glorious refuge where quiet seeps into my body and my mind becomes free from lists, demands and urban shrillness.  It's a place for gathering, dreaming and essential peacefulness. A coot cuts a wake across the lake, it's cry echoing into the blue bowl of the sky.  That I were so free, to paddle in such a home...." Linda Bowers, Director Hedgebrook Foundation [retreat for women writers]  Whidbey Island, Washington

"Fast weather, sweet air,  long dusk and coyotes with moonlight...
You'll write here whether you want to or not."

Alan Furst, author of  RED GOLD, parts of which were written at Willowtail Springs

"Willowtail Springs has a gentle magic which is a powerful catalyst for transformation.  I benefited from the top quality presenters in both experimental painting and Tai Chi push hands." Caitlin Howell, Master of Divinity Wholistic teacher and consultant
