Hope Springs is nationally and internationally known for its hospitality, community-style warmth, and memorably delicious meals with an emphasis on vegetarian or light meat fare. We are a full service retreat center providing accommodations for up to 30 people.
Hope Springs is ideal for educational workshops, writing and meditation retreats, commitment ceremonies, large family reunions, non-profit board retreats, and yoga or dance workshops.
Besides the beauty of its secluded forested setting, what makes Hope Springs special are its outstanding facilities. The Studio is an octagonal 1500 sq. ft. building with exquisitely finished maple hardwood floors, high skylights, and spacious ceilings - evoking a reverent and tranquil response from guests.
A second facility, Spirit House, is a round meditation space with a central sunken fire pit and a contemplative art installation.
Lodging is offered to guests in four locations.
Hope Springs has a warm, community feel and artistic ambience throughout its complex.
Though internationally recognized and located in a remote setting Hope Springs is close to a large percentage of the Eastern U.S. population, being only a 1.5 - 2 hour drive from Cincinnati, Columbus, Lexington and Huntington.
Hope Springs Institute is a nonprofit 501 (c) 3. In order to keep our services affordable to the public, we rely in part upon donations to keep our doors open. We are grateful to all who make contributions to our cause and thereby widen our circle of service to the greater world. Become a part of the Hope Springs family.

I can't say enough about Hope Springs and the comfort and nurture it offers people. Nothing is too much trouble and all is geared to the well being of attendees. The land is special and just arriving and being there gives comfort and clarity on the back home issues.
