Ornitherapy for a Wellness Retreat


  • Ashland Nature Center 3511 Barley Mill Road Hockessin, DE, 19707 United States (map)

Retreat to Ashland Nature Center for more than 24 hours of activities that will benefit your health, mind, mood, and soul. Forget about your day-to-day life and immerse yourself in the natural world, healthy food, nature observation, art, and more to give your mind and body a needed break. On Friday evening, enjoy a campfire circle and some astronomy with an expert. Stay the night at the Ashland Nature Center lodge (or sleep at home if you wish). On Saturday, wake up with an early gentle-yoga session that is suitable for all. After breakfast, relax with both Forest Bathing and Ornitherapy. Both activities are designed to put you in touch with nature in a mindful, relaxing, and rejuvenating way that you will love. After a catered lunch, take part in an outdoor art experience, as well as a session to learn about the benefits of essential oils. Take home products from both experiences. The program will end at the nearby Coverdale Farm Preserve where you will take a tour to learn about the process of growing organic vegetables, see the vegetable production facilities, and how we run our regenerative agriculture program to benefit people and nature at the same time. Finish with a dinner of Coverdale Farm Preserve products made by the Centreville Café. This experience includes an overnight stay in the Ashland Lodge, alcoholic beverages, breakfast, lunch, and dinner on Saturday. Eat dinner prior to arrival on Friday, or bring a bag dinner. Sleeping arrangements will be on cots in open-style bunk-rooms. Shared bathrooms with showers are available. For those of you that are going to sleep at home and come back Saturday, there is no difference in price, but it is an option.
