Spiritual Idyllwild

Thin Air and Lofty Pursuits

Perhaps it’s the altitude, but the density of spiritual groups is high. There are churches of many denominations as well as what we consider more traditional new age pursuits.

There are meditation groups, Course of Miracles groups, Shamanic pursuits as well as a variety of energy healing. To actually dive in, one would need to make some contacts and ask around. We’re here to give you a head start.
