RETREAT OFFERED!

If you have already attended a raw living foods program somewhere such as at Creative Health Institute, OHI, etc., then you may be interested in attending a short term retreat here (1-2 weeks).  During this time you will have your own bedroom (with a single size bed), access to rest room and shower.  You will be fed daily from a raw living foods menu similar to what is served at Creative Health Institute's first week of its program with some modifications.    Energy soup only will be served the first 2-3 days of this retreat (your choice).  You may have wheatgrass juice, if desired (recommended).  This is an opportunity to get back on track if you have been off the program.  You may help prepare your meals (encouraged) so that you may improve your food preparation skills.  No other classes are included, but if interested, will be offered for an additional charge. In your spare time, you may rest, sit in the sunny yard, walk to the nearby movie theater, take walks, etc. Puzzles, books and videos are available here and I'm available for conversation as well if you like!

Other events may be going on at the center while you are here, such as the monthly raw foods potluck, and movie night.  Call for more information!  If you get the answering machine, please leave a detailed message, your name, phone number and the best time to return your call!  I'm looking forward to hearing from you!!  Cost is just $495 for 6 nights/days or $1050 for 13 nights! * This does not include any classes or extras other than explained above.  $100 non-refundable deposit is required to reserve your room.  Balance is due at check-in.  No refunds after second day. 

Please see the photos for a view of the bedrooms!  One bedroom has a single bed, the other has a full sized bed.

*Rates are subject to change without notice.
