Past retreat
Prepare for winter’s rest
Join us for a unique and rejuvenating experience featuring a collaboration of four skilled therapists offering a blend of healing modalities.
Four personalized 20-minute experiences: chair massage, Reiki, guided meditation, and a choice of Indian head massage or foot reflexology.
We begin by gathering as a group to connect and set intentions. Each participant then moves through four personalized 20-minute treatments in a supportive, peaceful environment. There is no need to bring anything; please wear comfortable clothing. A flight of stairs is required to access the space.
