What we do

Aletheia Springs is a multigenerational community of stewards restoring the land and mineral waters of a 20-acre geothermal springs in the Sonoma Valley of Northern California. Our community’s primary service offering stems from natural springs with pools, creekside picnic areas, heritage oak woodlands, and open meadows. We are bridging its current culture from a 50’s-style summer recreation business toward that of a family-oriented sanctuary for self-care, complete with the elemental offerings of saunas, hot tubs, cold plunges, and warm pools set within a deeply enriched natural ecosystem. An organic cafe and gardens support residents and visitors alike with healthy and vibrant food. We wish to maintain and enhance the springs as a culturally inclusive and accessible source of health and wellbeing for Sonoma County and the greater San Francisco Bay Area. This is a place where we can all come to heal, relax, gather, and nourish while immersed in the natural beauty and vibrance of Sonoma Creek and these healing mineral springs.
Our intention is also to restore these geothermal springs to support the full, natural water cycle within our local watershed and aquifers, and to provide broader local access to our health-giving mineral drinking water. We aim to move beyond sustainability into a regenerative relationship with place so that we may receive the abundant gifts here for generations to come. We wish to partner with those leading Sonoma Valley into a future of local food, energy, and water resiliency.
This place is calling out for a new healing culture based on the transformative power of trust. Aletheia Springs community is also a practice ground for this new culture. In our learning laboratory, we focus on the creative process and how dynamic leadership and solidarity can emerge within a collective. Our aim is to grow this knowledge field in mutual support and cooperation with other learning projects around the globe.
