Buckhorn Cooking Class at the Ashland Co-op

Greetings from Buckhorn Springs Retreat Center, where we have opened the season with the Ashland Buddhists.

We are concerned about our guests’ health as well as our own. Here is what we are doing to ensure continued health and reduce exposure to COVID-19.

We have and are taking measures to bleach and sanitize surfaces, and washing our hands thoroughly for at least 20 seconds (CDC’s recommendation). 

We have bottles of sanitizer and tissues in all the cabins and bathrooms.

We have initiated a mostly touch-free greeting with fist and shoe bumps.

Throughout the day we consult the CDC, NPR, and other credible sources, and are consulting with other retreat centers about best practices.

At this time, Buckhorn Springs is a safe and healing place to be. Our seasonal dishes that we create in our kitchen, made with vegetables from our garden and local growers, will nurture your body. The peaceful, natural environs of Buckhorn offer you a haven from the frenzy.

Here is what we are asking our guests to do.

Wash your hands for at least twenty seconds. (Try singing a few verses of Prince’s “Raspberry Beret” if you are tired of “Happy Birthday”.)

Stay home if you are sick.

The Coronavirus touches on many aspects of our lives and concerns, and it is also a strong reminder that we are all in this together.

The Sargent Family,

Bruce, Leslie, Russell, Paulina, Lauren, and Quinn Sargent
