Lodging
We will be staying 4 nights in a stunning Victorian House in Hot Springs National Park, AR, close to restaurants, shopping and Bathhouse Row. This beautiful house includes twelve-foot ceilings, chandeliers, huge rooms, lots of light and good vibes - it's truly special. Just a short distance to the casino, shopping, restaurants, coffee shops and hiking trails. This 6 BR, 2 Bath home has 8 beds. (2 King, 4 Queen, and 2 Single). This home is quirky, comfortable, and fun.
Even if you save money by bringing a friend, partner, or family member, by agreeing to share a bed, you may still end up in a bed all to yourself. It will depend on the number of people who register.
Connect with the Earth
Bring your walking shoes, as our location has hiking trails just at the end of the street. Don't be surprised if you come across a natural hot spring or waterfall.
We will spend a day mining for crystals at a local mine. Plan on getting dirty! Find natural gemstones and keep whatever you find!
Connect with the Water
We will take a Riverboat Cruise of Lake Hamilton with a narrated tour by the boat's captain. Listen as he unfolds secrets of America's "Spa City".
The itinerary will also include a time that you could schedule a mineral bath, massage, facial, or other therapeutic session from one of the many bathhouses in the area. (I have personally experienced an AMAZING couples session at Quapaw Baths and Spa. Check out their Seasonal Package for the same experience, which included a mineral bath, couples massage, facial, and foot scrub - 3 hours of bliss!). You will be responsible for booking your spa treatment at your desired location. Book early, as these packages fill up fast.
Connect with the Air
Enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the Ouachita Mountains, Hot Springs Mountain, the Diamond Lakes area, and the beautiful city of Hot Springs, Arkansas from atop the Hot Springs Mountain Tower (an elevation of 1256 feet above sea level).
Connect with your Spirit
Create space for yourself and get lost in your surroundings. During our trip to Garvan Woodland Gardens, you will be joined by Allyson Lipari for a Professional Photo Shoot. You will receive digital copies of your photos. Afterward, you will have the option to join us for dinner, at your own expense, at a reserved table at 501 Prime.
Connect with the element of Fire
Burn away those things that no longer serve you in a releasing fire ceremony.
Feel free to bring the junk that you need to let go of. Those things that you've been holding onto for far too long. We will leave that which is not doing us any justice, not giving us any sense of love, or causing feelings of hurt and deep pain. We will awaken our spirits in the beautiful surroundings of nature in the Hot Springs mountains.
Shorts, hiking boots, and sunscreen are all highly recommended. We will have plenty of water.
Meals
Vegan/Gluten-free meals will be provided for most of your stay. As mentioned above, we will have a reserved table at 501 Prime for those who would like to attend, at their own expense, for an upscale dining experience. You also have the option to feast on leftovers or dine at another location.
