| Dear Friends of Wilbur:
The Wilbur Health Experience, at Wilbur Hot Springs, is designed as a health maintenance experience and Wilbur is a pioneering effort in the creation of a Health Maintenance Sanctuary (HMS).
Health maintenance consists of healing, preventing and maintaining. All of these are most effectively accomplished by creating psychophysical balance and strengthening the immune system.
At Wilbur, guests sleep when tired, eat when hungry, commune with Wilbur's prescription grade nature (RxN) and take the natural medicinal waters. The ambient decibel level has been measured as quieter than the average library. Wilbur provides a digital detox and so cell phones and computers are hardly seen. People talk to one another directly without technology.
Respect and kindness reign and everyone can feel the sense of emotional safety. Being 22 miles from the nearest town, Wilbur is like a country unto itself.
For some additional health ideas go to the web site of my radio program: Mind Body Health & Politics and listen to the interview about the Blue Zones. The Blue Zones are the 5 places in the world where people live 10 years longer, and healthier, than the rest of us.
Take charge of your health and join us for the Wilbur Health Experience. |
|
Say hello next time you are here for the Wilbur Health Experience.
Until then I wish you a powerful immune system and abundant self balance.
Richard and Jolee, Caretakers, Wilbur Hot Springs 1972-present

| | | Greetings Friends of Wilbur, If you have visited Wilbur, you are most likely aware of the Nature Preserve and the unique sites to enjoy. It is there you will find our Wishing Tree where hopes, desires, prayers, dreams and wishes are written on colorful tags and tied to its branches.
As is the custom on New Year’s Eve, the wishes are released and transformed with a bonfire. This year, because of high winds and low precipitation the Millers built a small camp fire at Sarana and Aaron's Yurt instead of the large bonfire. With much love, each tag was carefully removed from the Wishing Tree by Dr. Richard Miller and his family: Jolee, Sarana, Aaron, Jules (Jolee’s son) and his brother Lauren. They sat together and read many of the notes (and there were thousands). They were a cross section of the wishes of our culture. A high percentage of the wishes were wishes of good things for other people. Some wishes were to save a life or a marriage and some were to save humanity itself. Many were sentiments of wellness wished for all.
Next time you are at Wilbur join in and place a wish on the Wilbur Wishing Tree (see more images here). And, if you feel extra creative walk further down the road to Wilbur's Wind Chime Park and think about adding an assemblage wind chime. The guest-made wind chimes are there all year around. And, by the way, when you encounter the ponies in the Nature Preserve, say hello. They are friendly and will eat apples and carrots from your hand. With much love, Jerry and Brennan Newberry WHS General Managers |
