FAQ
What kind of guest would enjoy this retreat?
We welcome couples, singles, friends, men, women - everyone. Typically our guests are in the age bracket mid-50s to mid-60s and in reasonable health but with a desire to learn more about longevity and health. Our retreat is for anyone seeking a slight reset in mid-life to help guide them onto a more natural path towards a fuller, longer and healthier life - a Superager life. We think you will enjoy this retreat if you are looking for a different kind of retreat experience that is centered around peace and quiet, simple living and has practical tools for long-term health and wellbeing. Some of you might be motivated by personal health experiences - perhaps a recent health concern of your own, or perhaps from seeing first hand how elderly loved ones struggle with illness and poor quality of life. Through peaceful shared experiences, conversations and workshop sessions focused on habits and simpler living, we hope you will have the opportunity to learn new approaches among new friends, who share the exact same goals as you: to live well, stay healthy, and enjoy a full and active life for many years to come.
