Road Scholar Retreats

As a participating center of the Road Scholar educational adventures (by Elderhostel Inc.), we offer unique courses aimed at promoting a healthy body, mind and spirit. These retreats are designed for people who are 40+ years old. Most retreats are open to both males and females, however some are reserved as women’s rejuvenation retreats, and others promote multi-generational attendance by parents, children, and/or grandchildren.

These retreats utilize a multidimensional approach of healing modalities including:

  • qigong
  • aromatherapy
  • massage
  • acupressure
  • yoga
  • study of herbs
  • learn to cook vegetarian cuisine
  • singing
  • painting
  • meditation
  • exploration of the redwood forest
  • Buddhist philosophy

The Road Scholar Programs are specifically designed for people who share a love of learning. Participants come from different states, from every walk of life, every type of background to learn together, to exchange ideas. Couples or singles are welcome. The Road Scholar participants may bring accompanying friends or family as well.
