There are some spots left for this half day retreat on Saturday with the horses. This is for parents who need a little break, self-care and perspective. Ground work activities with the horses bring new insight into your parenting and leave you feeling renewed and supported.

You’re in luck!
Our first retreat went so well we are doing another.
Your story matters, so treat yourself to some time with the horses. They simply show up and know what to do.

I'm offering reiki at this equine retreat for parents, this Saturday May 20th, and there are a couple of spots left. Therapists Suzanne & Estella will lead some groundwork activities with the horses focusing on stress relief followed by reiki with the horses. This is an incredible opportunity to experience the wisdom and healing of horses at a great introductory price.

This retreat will be available for the first 12 participants. Don’t wait to sign up and have a day for you with the horses feeling validated and leaving empowered!

A true pioneer in mind-body medicine passed last week. His book "The Relaxation Response" came out in the 70's, about the time that acupuncture was beginning to be researched here in the U.S. Both meditation and acupuncture have hugely impacted my life, personally and professionally. I'm so grateful for those who've dedicated their life's work to expanding our ideas of health and wholeness.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our founder, Herbert Benson, MD, Director Emeritus of the Benson-Henry Institute of Mind Body Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital and Mind Body Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. A pioneer of mind body medicine, Dr. Benson...

Change and transformation are a natural part of life; like the coming and going of seasons or the snake shedding its skin and emerging anew, change prepares us for something new and beautiful.

I've always found it fascinating how much of our health discussions are centered around sleep and energy and how rarely we examine the rest, relaxation, and recovery we give ourselves in these fast-paced times. Rest is so much more than just a good night of sleep- it is the downtime we give our bodies, our minds, and our spirits to come back to center.

Every time this year I look forward to the local Herbstalk festival in Somerville, but this year it is going virtual and all herb classes are FREE this Saturday. I'll miss buying some plants for my garden and connecting with my herbal friends, but so glad I can join online. Maybe I'll "see" you there! http://www.herbstalk.org/virtual-herbstalk.html
