As a retreat center, our mission is to provide you with a place where you can attend to mind, body and spirit. Our classes and retreats provide opportunities to nourish the mind and the spirit, but sometimes it’s difficult to receive these gifts when our bodies are tense, wound up, and perhaps in pain. We offer our body therapies so that, if you wish, you can refresh yourself by experiencing the calming, grounding effect of skilled, compassionate touch.
