Breitenbush Hot Springs is a worker-owned cooperative comprised of about 75 people living on the banks of the Breitenbush River in the Willamette National Forest.

In a worker-owned co-op we all take on a greater level of care and concern for our business; we support it and it supports us. We are a democratically-run organization.
This opportunity is for the right person who is ready to retreat from the rat race development busy-ness and alienation of the outside world. You are ready to come alive in nature and to coordinate the facilities of a retreat center and intentional community. Learn more about us here.
