Details & Registration for Healing Beauty: Resilience & Renewal
Welcome to our inaugural Healing Beauty Retreat, to be held on Saturday, May 3rd in Garrison from 10am-4pm.
We will put away our screens and spend the day at lovely Garrison’s Landing, NY, immersed in springtime beauty. Surrounded by art and design, we will contemplate symbols of resilience and renewal as we gather together and dip into the treasures of nature and psyche. To lavish beauty on our senses, we will enjoy delightful scents, luxurious holistic skincare products, pampering mini massages. Those who wish may also participate in a gentle hike to a wonderful lookout over the Hudson River.
We will start the day with your choice of Italian coffee or Mariage Freres tea, alongside with freshly baked cardamom pastries. Lunch will be a selection of artisanal sandwiches, followed by an afternoon treat of fine chocolates by renowned chocolatier Håkan.
Joining Pia Cameron in leading this retreat will be Laura Josephson, CCH.
We hope you will join us for this very special day. Last day to register is April 28th. Participation is limited-if you wish to attend we encourage you to register as soon as possible.
