Tony and Ambika have discovered The Simplest Pleasures. They would love to share them at THE SIMPLEST PLEASURES RETREATS. The retreats are three days, full to bursting with goodness for body, mind and spirit.
THE IN PERSON RETREAT brings together a small group of people to enjoy, relax and delight in the tranquility and beauty of the Sonoran Desert. The intention is to awaken a synergistic spring of love, joy and inner peace by gathering together in a beautiful and safe space, opening our hearts and minds to ease, relaxation and beauty. Everything offered is to enrich our lives and to give you a wonderful break from the ordinary. Ambika and Tony share a belief that when we are open, relaxed and aware, our life expands. We have found a lovely space where we can give ourselves permission to relax, be at ease and experience joy. It is a space where freedom, tranquility and peace allows our spirit to flourish.
THE “IN PERSON” RETREAT
This is our three day Regenerative IN PERSON Retreat taking place in the warm, majestic and soul-filled corner of the world. Tucson, Arizona. It is famous for its mild, dry and warm weather with stunning sunrises and sunsets. It is the ideal climate for easing down, resting and relaxing.The gentle breezes and pace of life are conducive for healing and restoration.
The world renown WESTWARD LOOK RESORT AND SPA is designed for tranquility, relaxation and ease. It is the perfect place to host THE SIMPLEST PLEASURES Retreat. Enjoy the tennis courts, horseback riding, three sparkling swimming pools to take a dip or bask in the Arizona sun; sipping a refreshing libation or simply snoozing. Steal away to the hidden hideaways and nooks to read, journal and meditate.
There is also nature hiking for all levels, and a botanical tour through of the resort’s unique desert landscape. Take a sacred walk through the outdoor Labyrinth. Delight in the beautiful gardens that The Head Gardener, Raimundo, has been lovingly perfecting for over 30 years. He’s thrilled to give tours of his gardens for those who appreciate and delight in natural beauty.
AN OVERVIEW OF OUR DAYS TOGETHER
We start each morning gathering from 8:00 am to 9:00 am in our private hospitality suite to enjoy a light breakfast . We then move to our comfortable Mesa Room for meditation warmed by a toasty fire and where we can admire the vast views of the mountains surrounding us. We flow into Qi-Gong and Brain Gym at The Labyrinth. We work in our group sessions until High Noon at which time we complete the ‘group gathered workshop’.
