WINTER RETREAT: Held on December 4th and 5th at the newly renovated Hillcrest Valenova Inn and Spa in Port Hope, we celebrated light in our life (including the holiday of Chanukah) with meaning and inspiration. The Inn was an  idyllic, restful hideaway and their spa services were exceptional.

The program was carefully planned to stimulate the body, mind, and spirit and included Nia, yoga, energy medicine, psychology, healthy living (detoxifying our environment), nutrition, and spirituality.

Look under our testimonials in the next few weeks for comments about the weekend.
