You are invited to…
Gaia’s 35th Bday Bash
Hey friends! I am turning 35 years old on November 17 :)
I’ve also been in California by the time of my birthday for 3.5 years… the longest I’ve been anywhere consecutively for the last decade!
A chance to celebrate!
❥ I’d love to invite you to join me at the beautiful Harbin Hot Springs to celebrate my life and enjoy a weekend of friendship.
Let’s retreat into nature, soak in the flowing natural healing waters, and share a moment of self and community care and love as we go deeper into the winter season.
Harbin Hot Springs is a wonderful retreat center with a large sauna, multiple natural spring pools from cold to hotttt, the hottest coming naturally out of the Earth at 113°.
It’s a members only, clothing optional hot spring oasis, and one of my favorite places in California so far.
Harbin is located in Middletown, which is approx 2 hours north of Oakland, 2.5 hours west of Grass Valley, 4 hours south of Humboldt.
❥ I will be arriving on the evening Friday, November 17 and leaving the evening of Sunday, November 19.
You are welcome to come at any point during the weekend.
Please RSVP by sending me a text or better yet, join the Bday WhatsApp group :)
❥ Everyone is responsible for their own entry (costs described below and on Harbin’s website). Please call Harbin Hot Springs, and make your reservation for each person individually, as I am not able to make a group reservation!
❥ UPDATE as of 10/18: I wanted to rent one of the awesome domes on property but they are all completely booked out already, even the cottages are booked.
There are only caravans available — I do suggest going in on caravan reservations with friends, as the price difference is worth having shelter as it may be quite cold in the night by the weekend of Nov 17.
❥ Free camping is already included in the 24 hr entry fee, so if you can stay warm and cozy in a tent or van, then you are set! I will have my van, with stovetop available for use. For those who don’t have camping capabilities, renting a caravan works out to only $52 more to cover for 2 people.
❥ To join Bday WhatsApp group, please follow this link
Whatsapp group is for RSVP, announcements, carpooling, and prep.
❥ If you plan on coming for ONE night only, and would like to rent a caravan, join the WhatsApp group to coordinate because on weekends they must be rented for two nights minimum. We can coordinate switching off guests.
❥ Harbin is meant to be a sober environment.
Let’s get vibey, but please be conscious, quiet, and respectful of the environment and other guests!
Thank you!
❥ If you would like to come only for one night/day, please do!
❥ If you’d like to bring a buddy or invite some friends, please do!
