Course Description: Is there so much going on in your life that you are finding it difficult to focus in school? Are the demands of each of your classes overwhelming you and causing you anxiety? Or maybe you just made a New Year’s resolution to eat better, exercise more, and to take better care of you. If any of these things apply to you, then a 5-day Health & Wellness Retreat in the woodlands of Massachusetts might be just what you need. Learn tools and techniques for the mind and body that will help you to manage stress and enhance your focus. Participate in yoga classes and dance classes in a judgement-free environment and learn to love exercise. Then spend the week practicing what you have learned as you eat nutritious and delicious meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner (including vegetarian and vegan options). You’ll even get a taste of what it will be like to live on-campus in a college-style dorm room for the week! Learn something new each day on this retreat that can be applied to your everyday life and that will help you to become a better, healthier you! Open to girls only.
