Have Less Pain, More Freedom; I-Can-Travel.com Presents its First Healing Retreat
October 17, 2011
I know I have been MIA lately, but I think I have a good reason. As an outgrowth of my web site, I have become increasingly interested in wellness because most of my members have physical issues that cannot all be addressed by traditional medicine.
Since moving to Asheville, Marlene and I have been so impressed by the quality, professionalism and compassion of the alternative healers we’ve met that I decided to organize a retreat here on November 12th. Its purpose: to extend the incredible experiences we’ve had in Asheville to you, if you’re available, and to others who live nearby. I know it will enrich your life – and theirs – as it has already enriched ours.
At our retreat you will learn to:
- Overcome barriers that hold you back
- See how creative healing can help you manage pain, fatigue and stress
- Learn to achieve balance in life through a healthier mind-body connection
It’s a daylong retreat, which will feature four wonderful healers each practicing a different healing modality. We’ll also have catered vegetarian cuisine and music. Learn more at www.i-can-travel.com/retreat, where you can download a flyer and register for the event if you wish.
I would love to see some of you attend. I think you will come away with a new understanding of the mind-body paradigm and a deeper appreciation of how the body can help heal itself. If you’re unable to attend, please note that I’ll be taping the event and will create other ways for you to participate. If there’s enough interest, I will continue to plan retreats, maybe in your part of the country, too!
An Event for Sight-Impaired Skiers
October 3, 2011
While it's only the beginning of fall, winter's just around the corner for people who love to ski.
If you’re blind or visually impaired adult who cross-country skis or would like to learn the sport, you might want to consider joining two hundred-fifty-plus active adults from across the U.S. and around the world for the thirty-seventh annual Ski for Light International Week.
Ski for Light attracts cross-country skiers from beginners to advanced participants. Skiers and guides come from every adult age group and occupation. You’ll be paired with a sighted instructor/guide who will assist with skills, technique, and endurance while describing the countryside and enjoying the trails with you.
Many attendees report that the confidence, new skills, and friendships they develop is an experience of a lifetime that carries over into increased confidence and independence back
home.
The 2012 Ski for Light event will be held from Sunday evening, February 5, through Sunday morning, February 12, 2012, in the Wasatch Mountains of Utah. Participants will stay at the Marriott Hotel & Conference Center in downtown Provo, and ski at the Soldier Hollow cross-country ski area in nearby Midway, Utah.
Skis, boots, and poles will be provided free to first-time participants, and partial stipends based on financial need are available for first-timers.
Visit www.sfl.org to learn more and to submit your application. It's a popular event, so try to contact them by the end of this month.
Information can also be obtained by contacting the VIP recruitment coordinator, Bob Hartt, bobmhartt@gmail.com, (703) 845-3436.
