This retreat is unique. It's a little like combining the best of a transformational personal development intensive, with body work, expressive arts, traditional and energy psychology, relaxation and meditation practices, expansive personal visioning and life coaching.. . only instead of being dropped in the wilderness with a tent and bottle of water, this process takes place in an artful, comfortable environment that effects the same powerful inner breakthrough...

Ensuring your complete privacy, is one of our primary goals, and to this end, we work strictly one-on-one, with one individual or one couple per retreat, which means you and only you are our honored guest and will have no group diversions.

What To Expect

When you arrive you are welcomed into a deeply relaxing and supportive environment. You will normally meet with both Brent and Ilene a minimum of twice a day These sessions can run as long as 2 hours each, at times, and combine many vast modalities and wellness arts, depending on your strengths and beliefs.

Our work is all very fluid, natural, deeply rejuvenating. As a result of each healing encounter, there will likely be things that come up for you to delve into and reflect upon in between sessions: You might choose to do this with a meditation, a quiet walk to the river, a nap on the dreaming bed, creating what you have seen inwardly into an outer art form of expression in the art studio, a journaling dialogue, or any number of forms of expression and clearing.

Our clients directly experience and come to know how to attune to their Essential Selves and follow it's guiding wisdom, both for the immediate concern that brought them to retreat, and, as a visionary course for their lifetimes.
