Spring Healer’s Retreat  June 3-6, 2011

Need a break? Here’s an excuse to get away for a weekend for some peace and quiet and to “hang out” with other like minded folk. Only a scenic 3 hour drive north of the cities, soak in mother nature’s healing embrace to rejuvenate, gain some perspective, find some balance, and to get connected.

This is a very low key, relaxed retreat.  We encourage you to do as little or as much as you’d like.

If you want to work on some inner issues and healing, we have a really supportive group to help you feel safe.

If you want to just have fun and chat and play with other like-minded individuals, this is a great opportunity.

If you simply want to do nothing at all but stare at a chipmunk trying to sneak into your cabin, hey, “more power to ya!”.

2 night minimum stay.  Simple continental breakfast included (fruit, boiled eggs, oatmeal, pastry, coffee and tea). Groups welcome!

***(No, I’m not going to know Cabin-Share assignments until check-in day, because it’ll depend on the number of people coming.  And yes, for those of you wanting the budget rates, I’m always sensitive to those choosing to share a cabin with others they may not know – I will again put females in their own cabin and males in a separate cabin, and couples in a queen/king bedroom.  —Kim)

Relaxation ideas:

• Take a nature hike on one of our wooded trails and inhale the crisp scent of falling leaves and balsam fir
• Detoxify in our rustic lakeside sauna
• Curl up with a good book while warming your toes by the crackling fire in our historic lodge
• Try catching a trophy fish
• Glide peacefully across the spring fed clear waters of the lake in a canoe or kayak
• Lounge on the lodge deck to watch an eagle soar, the ducks gather, a great blue heron spearing a meal
• Sit back and notice the colors of sunset
• Take a morning mist cruise around the lake on the pontoon
• Bask in the glow of a toasty campfire: watch for shooting stars, listen to a trilling loon song, roast marshmallows and tell stories
• Stay young at heart and play the many games available here: horseshoes, shuffleboard, volleyball, basketball, board games, chess, pool, foosball etc.
• Check out area antique shopping
• Try a leisurely game of area golf
• Bike the 28 mile paved bike trail
• Go horseback riding at area stables
• Indulge your palate with local gourmet and provincial eateries

KID POLICY:  As you know, we are VERY kid-friendly here at the resort, but we wanted to let you know that for this special retreat, we schedule it on purpose the weekend after Memorial Day and before most schools are out for the summer to encourage a more adult atmosphere.   By all means, bring the kids if you like, but please know that for this weekend only, the lodge arcade room will be shut down and the pool table will be covered and unavailable throughout the entire weekend (no exceptions).  We ask that your kids avoid the lodge area, including the mini-carousel, shuffle board court, snack counter, etc. while any group meditation or chakra connection session is going on so as not to disturb the participants.  We hope that you will feel available enough to budget for some “you” time!   Can’t wait to see you!!!!!!!
