We have something extraordinary to announce! Our next week-long healing retreat will be held in July of 2012 at Hacienda del Sol Guest Ranch Resort.

The historic Hacienda Del Sol resides on 34 scenic acres in the panoramic foothills of the Santa Catalina Mountains in Tucson, Arizona. The resort is full of history and is nationally recognized for its cuisine and beautiful gardens; needless to say, we are thrilled to be partnering with Hacienda del Sol to host our Integrative Touch for Kids' Healing Retreat at this very special location.
