Activsts and Artists -- Its Time for a Retreat

Our work is to transform silence into language, action and wholeness. Organic Gardens Retreat offers a place where one can replenish the Center that makes this provocative and creative stance possible and fruitful within our communities and ourselves.

(PRWEB) July 25, 2005 -- The great beauty and grace of everyday events at Organic Gardens Retreat nourishes ones spirit, ones soul. The humming birds drink from the trumpet shaped flowers of Texas Hummingbird Sage, the red tailed hawk and her partner ride the thermals above; and the mama duck leads her six goslings through the rapids of the mountain stream. Sit on the deck, contemplate the amazing shades of green of the native trees and the lushness of the organic gardens, watch the mountains change colors at sunset and anticipate the full brilliance of the night stars, for there is no ambient light here.

As artists and Activists make incessant demands upon themselves and on those with whom they work. The stress that accumulates in the body as a result may be addressed with the healing of Certified practitioners of massage, cranial sacral, yoga and acupuncture that are available at the Retreat. A redwood soaking hot tub nestled among native oaks facilitates the healing.

Four hours from Los Angles and four hours from the Bay Area, the Retreat is located on five acres at 1,000 feet in the Sierra Nevadas, five minutes from entrance to Sequoia National Park where the oldest trees on the planet live. In addition to the spirit and bodywork at the Retreat, you may want to talk with, caress these lovely and knowledgeable trees and perhaps take walks or hikes in their presence.

The tops of the Giant Sequoia and snowcap Sierras are visible from the decks surrounding three sides of the main building. Middle fork of the Kaweah River is below. The Accommodations at the Retreat include a cottage with its efficiency kitchen and redwood deck and the Garden Room overlooking the back raised beds. Each room benefits from the soothing breeze during the day and the cool downdraft from the Sequoias at night. Each is tiled with private bath and entrance and there is a fully equipped kitchen for your use. A Clothing Optional choice is available. And, if you must, there is computer access!

Organic Gardens as a Retreat is new. For the past 10 years it has been a bed and breakfast providing organic, vegetarian, vegan and food for special diets. Guests visited from all parts of the world and most lived very gently upon the planet. The owner continues to work as a documentary photographer and an historian. Increasingly she spends most of her daytime in the Central Valley working with migrant women to develop their photographic and organizational skills. The journey of transforming silence into language, action and wholeness continues.
