How wonderful to have a retreat center close to home.  Nourish the natural desire to draw inward and replenish.  You will emerge with a greater state of rest, ease, and clarity from this all inclusive retreat.  Space is limited to 14 attendees.

The focus for the weekend will be to nurture, replenish and gain greater focus of our heart's calling and how to bring that into our daily life.  This is time to 'get-away' and 'get clear' about honoring our own inner wisdom, body and mind.

Shiatsu massage therapy relies on the use the fingers, thumbs and palm to apply pressure to various areas of the body’s surface to help heal common ailments and conditions, and correct imbalances in the body. Pressure applied to points on the body promotes energy flow and corrects disharmonies throughout the patient's body. In addition to being a deeply relaxing experience, Shiatsu helps relieve stress, treat pain and illness, and contributes to a patient's overall health and wellbeing.

Reiki Treatment
Shirodhara

Beth Boland

Shirodhara is a form of Ayurveda therapy that involves gently pouring liquids over the forehead. The name comes from the Sanskrit words shiro (head) and dhara (flow).
