Our next retreat weekend is coming up soon: November 21 – 23 at Mt. Olivet Retreat Center in Farmington, about 45 minutes south of Minneapolis.

In this lovely, rural setting, participants will have the opportunity to relax and engage in thoughtful, creative activities. Starting with gentle yoga, led by Kim Mikulich, then art therapy led by Robin Getsug, and creative journaling with Elena Anderson, each individual can explore the inner self, find validation and self compassion, and gain a higher sense of self empowerment.

Surrounded by nature, let your daily life dissolve for the duration of this experience, and then return, feeling renewed and strengthened.

Namaste
Kathy

A huge thank you to everyone who made our inaugural Bella retreat successful! The weekend went off without a hitch, with lots of support both ahead of time and during the weekend. The therapists were simply wonderful: Talented, full of great ideas and loving support. 
Here is a quote from one of the participants:
"The sessions were excellent. They helped me to open up to people and start to trust myself again."

"Be the light."
My sister passed along this wise adage to me, on the day I needed to hear it the most. Life runs the gamut from utter bliss to the unthinkable, and sometimes the best we can do is to share the moments with each other, offer what we can, and know that whatever we do ripples outward, far beyond what we personally will see.

The Bella Center was conceived out of a need to focus some of those ripples in the most positive manner possible, knowing that each small kindness has a lasting effect.

I am so grateful and amazed at the response so far to this new venture, and cannot wait to see our pilot weekend happen!
