I’ve been asked why i-can-travel is hosting a Wellness Retreat this coming November. My response is that we can only go as far in this world as our minds and bodies take us. I’m not talking about workouts in the gym or the latest fad diet. And I’m not interested in six-pack abs or thinner thighs in thirty days. My concern is simpler and more basic than any of these. It’s directed at people who want to live full, vibrant lives but suffer from constant pain or chronic disease. I’d like to help them get the most out of their travels, whether throughout the world or only in their immediate neighborhood.
In many cases western medicine offers only limited relief. However, since moving to Asheville I’ve met many healers who diagnose and treat dysfunction of the body’s various systems and restore whole health. They work under the assumption that the body’s systems are interdependent and related and use non-invasive, hands-on techniques to achieve and maintain wellness of the whole person. Ultimately, they believe that the body is programmed for self-healing.
I have been deeply impressed with their kindness and with the efficacy of their treatments. They are people who generously share their knowledge and insight to empower others, so I have decided to put together an opportunity for some of them to meet with some of you.
At this retreat, participants will gain techniques for dealing with chronic pain and begin to take a more active role in healing themselves. As a result, they’ll travel with less pain and more confidence, wherever their journey takes them.
More details will be coming in the next week or so.
