We are all living but who among us feels truly
alive? For those who wish to feel more alive there is
a perfect getaway for you. Experience proactive, balanced
living. Alive Resort outside of Vernon in the
Monashee Mountains offers 5 or 12 day programmes (2 ½
day until mid Nov.) of advance health education for lifestyle
training. I had the privilege of being invited for a 2
½ day programme recently and I can honestly say
it was amazing! Each programme includes: airport pick-up
at either Vernon or Kelowna, accommodation in a private
room, 3 meals a day of organic cuisine that is nothing
short of inspirational, a 1L. water bottle you are encouraged
to fill up at least twice a day from the water cooler,
Aveda spa treatments (yes, that’s plural), after
meal guided nature walks, evening health workshops, one-on-one
counselling about whatever mental, emotional or physical
health issues you may have and just the atmosphere to
relax and recharge. You receive a binder called “my
health book” which is full of information about
their mission for health and balance, self-assessments,
and the 8 Natural Dr.s (Exercise, Water, Fresh Air, Nutrition
I & II -food sources and food effects, Sunlight, Rest,
and Abstinence - not my favourite.) Natural health is
fast becoming a major industry and Spa retreats have been
growing in popularity for years. Alive Resort
offers both.
Formerly operated as the Silver Hills Health Resort (home
of the scrumptious Silver Hills Squirrelly bread) by Phil
& Eileen Brewer it became Alive Resort for
Wellness and Longevity Inc. when Vic Lebouthellier, former
publisher of Alive magazine, initiated a partnership.
Together they made a good thing even better and more comprehensive
to offer guests more of a holiday atmosphere.
The website www.alivereosrt.com
offers a treasure trove of information about nutrition
and health as well as recipes that are tasty AND healthy.
Guests are encouraged to take the HQ (Health Quotient)
test online on their website before they arrive then archive
their results to be invited to redo the test in four months.
This test is available to anyone. It probably helps to
have a bit of a sense of humour when you get your result.
I know I laughed out loud. Nonetheless I returned home
with a renewed sense of optimism and balance.
