I am hosting my first retreat at one of my favorite places, Amethyst Retreat Center, and I could not be more excited to share an experience of true relaxation, peace, quiet and healing that can occur here.
If you would love the perfect place to get away for a couple days to Relax, Rest and Restore through nature, healthy food, and holistic healing, then you have found the place. Amethyst is a really special place with lots of history in healing energy. The main house on the property is an old farm house with 144 acres of land. The property was donated to the Amethyst Foundation with a mission to make a healing space with holistic practitioners accessible to many. I really look forward to sharing the weekend I have planned for you inspired by my friend and many local healing practitioners with weekends of healing.
If you love the sound of a Retreat, Not far from home, Two nights away, Nature walks, Healthy home cooked food, Option to experience group and individual holistic healing from practitioners, Affordably -- this is meant for you! This is why I love it, and I must share!
Be my guest and allow me to host just you or with a friend or two in a farm house with comfortable accommodations and provide you with the gift of a self-directed retreat with a few simple options to choose from. Think of a ‘B&B' style experience at your own pace with the comfort of knowing others are enjoying this spacious remote setting too. Explore the trails, relax on the porch, chill in the living room, labrynth walk, nature art.
We can welcome Fall with a get away just for you and maybe even a friend or two!
