Travel

◇ Plan to arrive on site by 1:30pm on January 8th for check-in.

◇ We highly recommend Harbin Hot Springs as a place to stay before, and especially to stay after, to hang out with your cohort mates and relax in the healing waters. It’s a very special place, only a 15-20 minutes’ drive from the training site.

Alternatively, Backyard Garden Oasis B&B is also a great nearby option, or you might consider booking a local Airbnb with fellow participants.

◇ If you have an emergency and must arrive later than 2:15pm, please let us know as we’ll begin promptly at 2:30pm. Please have lunch beforehand, as the first meal we provide will be dinner.

◇ Four Springs is approximately 85 miles from San Francisco, just north of the Napa Valley region, near Middletown, CA. The drive from San Francisco, Oakland, or Sacramento airports are each about 2.5 hours by car from Four Springs. If you are flying into SF, your flight will need to arrive by 10:30am in order to arrive at the site on time – this allows for any delays, luggage, rental car pick-up, and any stops along the way.
