A Year of Transformation

As the year nears its end, it's hard to believe how quickly it has passed. As I reflect back on 2021, I realize that it has been a year of resilience and transformation.


At Harbin, we continue to count our blessings every day. As with all businesses, we have found navigating through a global pandemic very challenging at times. Our objective is and has always been to create a safe, healing, and uplifting space where people of all walks of life can come find comfort and peace.

Earlier this year we reopened the Domes and we have been receiving rave reviews. Our guests really enjoy the retreat atmosphere that the Domes provide. The Domes are nestled on a mountaintop and have rooms that range in size. Guests staying at the Domes have access to two private pools. Explore more on the Domes here: https://harbin.org/visit/domes/.

Hooray! The Harbin “Bookstore” Returns

Emerging like a phoenix from the Fire, the Harbin Bookstore returns to our Reception area with an impeccably curated collection of books to stimulate, nourish, inspire, and delight. Guest after guest tells us they are impressed by the extraordinary quality and range of our collection. Check it out for yourself and expand your next visit with a radiant bookstore selection. Here’s how guests have already expressed their appreciation:


“Take an armful of books from your most interesting friend’s library, stack them next to the must-read selection from your favorite bookseller, add a few blow-your-mind tomes and a pinch of guilty pleasures, and you might have something close to the collection you’ll find in Harbin’s amazing little bookstore. I stop in upon my arrival to assure that I have something special for the visit, and always pick up a title or two for when I return home. I’ve yet to be disappointed.”

 – Professor of Communication Studies, Harbin guest


“Your book collection is exquisite! So well curated! The “best of” my own collection – and then some. I’m a scholar at this stuff and would love to talk!”

 – Harbin Guest
