When the Spanish colonists arrived they erected their adobes along these samespiritual grids too, and in 1786 dedicated their Queen of the California Missions to Saint Barbara,one of the 14 Helping Saints and known for miracles. In that conjunction of natural beauty, spiritualvortices and a miraculous saint, Santa Barbara was born. Like the healing water of Lourdes, the Santa Barbara's spirit of place mends what is out ofbalance. Santa Barbara is a state of mind that is grounded and also free; that contains bothtranquility and festivity. Santa Barbara has the inherent power to re-ignite your passion to manifestpersonal dreams.
