I recently organized a women's retreat with 17 women at Wheel of Bliss, and the weekend and the home was everything I hoped it would be! The property and the home is such a magical place!!! The home is very clean and is provided with everything that you need from paper products, spices to cook with, special goodies that awaited us, and coffee! We used all of the beds in the home, and the women remarked on how comfortable the mattresses, pillows, and comforters were. It was so nice to have so many bathrooms, as well. There are trails on the property that lead you to a stream and waterfalls. Sunday morning, before we left, I hiked the trails and was able to say a heartfelt 'goodbye' to the land. The land borders the National Forest, so you definitely feel completely private and away from it all! Rob, the caretaker who lives in a cabin at the foot of the driveway, was so helpful and friendly. He helped us build fires each night and checked on us. The fire pit is big and beautiful, and the first night we were there, we all drummed around the fire! It was so nice to have access to large tables and enough folding chairs for us all. Saturday evening we had an open air dinner on the large front porch. The lights and flags on the front porch are so beautiful! There are prayer flags in places all over the house, as well. We offered yoga, meditation, hiking, drumming, chakra healing, etc, and everything was lovely! The meditation room with a beautiful, large altar is a vision unto itself! The comfortable meditation mats and yoga mats that are provided, enhanced out experience! Some women didn't bring yoga mats, so it was so nice to have many there! We offered an evening chakra meditation, and with the lights dimmed in the altar room and all of the candles lit, it was such a healing and serene experience. Thank you for providing candles, as well! I loved the close proximity of the home to Max Patch, as well. We all went to Max Patch Saturday afternoon for a group hike! Last but not least, we woke up Sunday morning to snow flurries! It was truly a magical ending to our amazing retreat! Thank you so much Colin and Wheel of Bliss for our new special place! We cannot wait to return next Fall!!!
