vegetables and greens from our own garden. We may not always have the same items on the menu but we use nature and the seasons as our muse.”
Like The Lodge at Woodloch, White Lion Tea keeps sustainability in mind when sourcing ingredients.“ Responsibly sourced teas leave a smaller carbon footprint, and we can better
monitor that the workers are treated and paid fairly,” Petty says.“ Direct-sourcing also dovetails with White Lion’ s pride mission. We provide scholarships to girls in the villages where our tea is grown. These girls would not otherwise be able to attend school, and education is key to a better life. It’ s about sustainable social change one life at a time.” n

IN MEMORIAM Our hearts are in pain with news of the passing of Glen Ivy Hot Springs Executive Chef Bill Wavrin. Author of a James Beard Award-nominated cookbook and honored by The Aspen Center for Integral Health as one of the“ Healthiest Chefs in America,” Chef Bill will forever be remembered for his unwavering passion and larger-than-life persona.
Jim Root, Glen Ivy Hot Springs senior executive, offers a loving tribute:“ Although my heart is heavy, Chef Bill’ s bigger-than-life spirit will stay with me always. For almost 30 years, Billy and I worked together at three of the great spa and wellness destinations: Rancho La Puerta, Miraval and, for the last eight years, at Glen Ivy Hot Springs in Corona, California. Through it all, we never lost sight of each other. As I’ d say,‘ See you later, Billy,’ he would give me a big bear hug and say,‘ I love you, Jimmy.’ I miss you so much my friend.” n
