Whispering Waters Retreat
Wizard Wells, Texas,
United States

 Whispering Waters Retreat is an idea being conceptualized in this moment of creation, a place of spiritual awakening.
At this time, Whispering Waters is a Holistic Retreat Center. We host 15 to 20 workshops a year. Teachers share in yoga, tai chi, shamanism, workshops on reiki, chakra clearing, reflexology, Native American sweat lodge, ceremony, and much more. We are located 50 miles west of Denton, Texas, just off Hwy 380 between Bridgeport and Jacksboro. We sit on 2.2 acres of land.
For eight years Kevin Leech and his family and friends have worked to create Whispering Waters Retreat from the remains of a mineral bathhouse in a small community of Wizard Wells. Kevin is a potter, massage therapist, and a reverend for the Center of Divine Light located at Whispering Waters. I am in search of two to three more alternative-minded humans to help in this creation, co-creators who believe in and understand the power of love, who enjoy vegetarian cooking, retired teachers, a gardener, an artist, a massage therapist, a visionary, an events coordinator, and fun and loving human beings. It might be some rainbow warriors who are looking for a place to call home and be a part of something magical. I am looking for more individuals who want to be part of this creation.
Helping physically, emotionally, financially, spiritually, my own spiritual journey brought me here to Wizard Wells, Texas. I am a massage therapist, artist, and proprietor. I love what I do, and would enjoy spending more time in my pottery studio, creating and teaching clay.
I believe in manifesting the things that are Divine and supporting others in their pursuit to self-actualization.
This place is sustaining itself. It is a very big project. I would love to find a few others who would like to invest financially, making this their home—a home that will support us in the future. With everyone helping, more is done with less effort.
We are already something special. This is my way of putting it out to the universe. If it is to be, the right people will read this, it will resonate with them, and they will call me.
