Spa for the Psyche: An Urban Retreat with Janis Ericson

Stressed? Overwhelmed? Need some time for yourself?

Retreats provide a place for those who seek to re-ignite their passion and zest for life. By escaping the barrage of daily stress, you give yourself the opportunity to turn within, reconnect with your goals, and take stock of your life.

When you change, the world around you changes.

The modern world in which we live is filled with uncertainty, but when you build a strong and centered inner self you can handle anything that comes your way. Brain science has shown the merit of proper meditation for increasing success and happiness. So, take this opportunity to intentionally build your life from the inside out.

Why Meditation?

Not only does meditation reduce stress, it lowers blood pressure and improves sleep. It also promotes mental clarity, calmness, and greater happiness by quieting the mind. Even if you’ve had difficulty with meditation in the past, Janis’s unique methods can break through the mental chatter and take you into profound relaxation.

When you’re more relaxed, you’re more comfortable in your skin, which leads to greater confidence and success in your life and work. Research has shown that relaxation leads to more creative thinking, greater emotional control, and improved athletic performance.
