Brookhaven Retreat celebrated May 16th as International Baking Day with a stroll down Biscuit Boulevard
Knoxville, TN (PRWEB) May 20, 2015 -- Brookhaven Retreat® LLC, a unique residential treatment facility exclusively for women with emotional and mental health challenges, and/or substance abuse issues, celebrated International Baking Day with a stroll down Biscuit Boulevard while attending the International Biscuit Festival.
The International Biscuit Festival is a month long celebration held during the month of May in Knoxville, Tennessee, honoring the biscuit. The festival features art exhibits, writing conferences, bake offs, pageants, songwriting, biscuit tasting, and musical performances. Biscuit Boulevard, the street fair Brookhaven Retreat clients attended on Saturday, was the main course of the festival. Biscuit Boulevard celebrated everything biscuit with visitors tasting signature biscuits from more than 20 of the region’s finest restaurants and bakers. Brookhaven Retreat clients were also treated to leisure time at the Biscuit Bazaar where biscuit related items were available for purchase.
Brookhaven Retreat strongly believes that recovery entails more than a therapy room and that daily living requires a solid foundation of interpersonal skills. Therefore, outings such as this are scheduled weekly to practice communication and social interaction skills as well as to provide enrichment opportunities to the clients. These therapeutic recreational opportunities are an essential part of the experiential program. Brookhaven Retreat recognizes the need for social interaction during the recovery process and encourages participation off campus events.
