About Saratoga Springs Retreat Center

Saratoga Springs Retreat Center is nestled in a private 260-acre scenic valley, high in the beautiful hills of Northern California, near Upper Lake. It was established as a resort in 1871, featuring several cold mineral springs of healing waters for drinking and bathing. Long before it became Saratoga Springs, the Pomo Indians used this hidden valley for peacemaking and healing. Today the valley still resonates with this energy, which enhances the experiences of all who come to Saratoga Springs. Margot Anand has taught several Love & Ecstasy Trainings here in the past and is happy to return to Saratoga Springs' natural beauty, stillness and conference facilities.
