Four Other Popular Wellness and Retreat Centers in the US


 
Wellness centers, are places where people may go for yoga, nutritional counseling, physical therapy, fitness, chiropractic care, eastern medicine, etc., are more popular now than they were a decade ago.
 
The other day, I posted an article about the goals and mission of the Esalen  Institute in Big Sur, California. The Esalen website mission states: 
 
"Be a leading center for exploring and realizing human potential through experience, education, and research.
 Work toward the realization of a more just, creative, and sustainable world, seeking answers to questions unlikely to be explored by traditional universities and religions".

 
While searching, I found that besides Esalen there are 4 other popular  wellness places/centers in the US.  The list is as follows:

  • THE OMEGA INSTITUTE, RHINEBECK, NY.
  • THE ART OF LIVING RETREAT CENTER, BOONE, NC.
  • FEATHERED PIPE RANCH, HELENA, MT.
  • RED MOUNTAIN RESORT, IRVINS, UT.

Omega Institute for Holistic Studies is a non-profit educational retreat center located in Rhinebeck, New York. Founded in 1977 by Elizabeth Lesser and Stephan Rechtschaffen, inspired by Sufi mystic, Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan and his ecumenical spirituality, today it offers classes to over 25,000 people a year, at the 190-acre (0.77 km2) campus.

 


The institute's stated mission is to "provide hope and healing for individuals and society through innovative educational experiences that awaken the best in the human spirit". Omega’s workshops, conferences, and retreats aim to create dialogues on the integration of modern medicine and natural healing; connect science, spirituality, and creativity; and build the groundwork for new traditions and lifestyles

 


The Art of Living Retreat Center is a 501(c)(3) non-profit whose mission is to reawaken the human values of compassion, love, togetherness, joy, and harmony in order to realize a true representation of a one-world family—a place that unites people from all walks of life in the spirit of wisdom, celebration, and service to the world.  It is located in Boone, North Carolina

 The Feathered Pipe Ranch in Helena, Montana

 


Surrounded by millions of acres of forest and mountains just outside of Helena, Montana, the Feathered Pipe Ranch, America's premier retreat center, hosts personal growth and yoga retreats, as well as offers facilities for corporate retreats and group rentals. For almost 45 years now, we have offered a vibrant and peaceful oasis in the pristine northern Rocky Mountains where all distractions can dissolve away and the essence of nature, community and self can shine forth.

A world-class retreat blended naturally into a landscape of vivid red rock cliffs and canyons in southern Utah, Red Mountain Resort has everything you need to relax, renew, and rediscover your passion for adventure. Eighty-two beautifully designed rooms and twenty-four villa suites are carefully situated on fifty-five acres of black lava gardens and fragrant mesquite with stunning vistas of the surrounding mountains.

Red Mountain’s ideal location allows convenient planning of customized adventures to Zion or Bryce Canyon National Parks, while Snow Canyon State Park just down the road.

Meanwhile: If you are a Hulu subscriber, I recommend you watch the mini-series, Nine Perfect Strangers starring Nicole Kidman. Here's the summary of the TV mini-series.

Nine strangers from the city gather for a 10-day retreat at Tranquillum House, a health and wellness resort in the fictional town of Cabrillo, California, which promises to transform and heal the guests who stay there. The resort is not what it seems to be, and the guests are about to discover many secrets about each other and the resort's host.
