Max Strom: "This is an invitation to join me for my summer immersion retreat this July 24~27, 2014. The focus will be revitalizing and harmonizing the health of our body, nervous system, and spirit. The center is quiet, beautiful, and surrounded by nature. The events will consist of lectures, writing, and full practices of breath initiated movement, yoga practice, and meditation. I hope that you can join me."
