Blue Ridge Parkway,Asheville NC
HEALING AND WELLNESS RETREAT IN THE
BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS OF ASHEVILLE, NC

How to Transform from the Quick Fix Culture to Sustainable Wellness
Holistic Care to Overcome and Prevent Chronic Conditions

Come for a week in the magical mountains of Asheville, Western North Carolina. We will pick fresh food at local organic farms, cultivate medicinal herbs and spices at our herb farm, drink rejuvenating herbal teas, learn the art of cooking and eating well, learn the art and skills of physical and mental relaxation, the principle of holistic care and the benefits of sustainable wellness.

Enjoy Health, Happiness and Harmony!

Next Retreat Date
Sunday, August 17 to Saturday, August 23, 2008 (Seven Nights)

Location
The Wellness Retreat will take place in a 1915 farm house in the historic Sulphur Springs area of West Asheville, NC. If the space is available, some activities will be at a mountain-top lodge in Leicester, NC. Both locations are parts of Chi Herb Farm, a start-up herb garden with a combined 6.5-acre land specializing in Chinese medicinal herbs, spices, and health-promoting fruits and vegetables. Our retreat guests will participate in primitive, organic farming activities and learn about the healing values of farm-grown produce.

Daoism Temple in Mount Wuyi, Fujian, China
Master of Retreat
Dr. Miles Chong Chen, the founder of Chi Wellnness Clinic in Boston, is a pioneering thinker and practitioner of holistic care and sustainable wellness. He describes his childhood experience:

"When I grew up in China, six out of my ten neighbors were traditional medicinal herbalists. We lived in apartments above an herbal processing plant. Kids could roam freely amid the raw herbs (many of them were also food). The medicine men were not educated at modern colleges, but apprenticed with a master since they were 9 - 12 years old. They taught me ancient wisdom and practices, developed by Daoists and Zen budhists in China, that remain valid and powerful today. When I turned 16, I became a farmer on Mount Wuyi in Fujian, China. I observed many local peasants practicing Daoist exercises. These exercises allowed the regional people to live healthy, happy and harmonious lives, despite often enduring extreme hardship and poverty.

"My early childhood education, which was mostly "old and primitive," left a strong imprint on my being. In contrast, my adult education, at college in China and later graduate school in the US, was centered on Western science and cutting edge technology. I believe that some ancient practices are biologically relevant and medicinally useful. My personal practice of sustainable wellness motivates me to share with others the benefits I have experienced from using this ancient wisdom. I have always been drawn to mountains and springs for their healing, tranquil and harmonious atmospheres. The magic mountains of Western North Carolina are special and spiritual indeed."

Retreat
The retreat is not a simple get-away, but a learning experience of inner healing, which you have to feel at the natural, instinctual and intuitive levels. Dr. Chen will teach each student in such a way that they "get it" for life and "know" its effectiveness. The experience, therefore, is a life transformation. Students will change from consumers to activists seeking health, happiness and harmony. Each student will master self-care in a personalized and internalized manner. There will be a lot of hands-on practice during the retreat. Please call 781.290.0488 or Email to make reservation.
