Why Hot Springs, Montana?
Liz and I “accidentally” (as in guided!) discovered this little gem of a town while returning from Glacier National Park in 2021. We stopped for a quick soak, and ended up staying the night. Since then, we have been back twice, so impressed with the healing properties of the mineral water, and the kindness of the people.
The water is rated second in the entire world. Their motto in Hot Springs is “Limp in, Leap out!” The town itself is tiny and unpretentious. People move slow, have time to talk and connect, and are genuine. There are deer and wild turkey roaming the streets!
While the town is nothing fancy, our Sophia Springs Lodging is new, luxurious, clean and awesome. There are nice suites for 2 or 3 people, and a guest house with two bedrooms, with two queen beds in each room. There are two natural mineral soaking tubs for our use.
What will we do?
Mostly, we will just “be”. Hot Springs is an awesome spot to just hang out, slow down, and soak, heal, detoxify, rest and rejuvenate. To assist your healing, we will lead daily slow flow body movement classes, lead some prayerful meditations, teach a healthy food and nutrition workshop, a detoxification workshop, a healing class, while still leaving time for the precious hot springs soaks (either right in our own tubs at Sophia, or in the local springs around town).
We will also have some wonderful healing options: NeurOptimal Brain Training technology, Rapid Release (for clearing scar tissue and tight muscles) and Biopulsar readings (to see your real time chakra and aura ratings). Extra fee for these options.
For those who want to “do” a bit more, we will offer a one day and night trip to Glacier National Park, one of the best parks in the country, and take a hike or two. We will also take a one hour drive to the Bison Range, and also visit the Garden of the 1000 Buddhas for a sacred walk. We might sneak in a lake swim as well. There is also a short but steep hike for a view of Hot Springs (3 miles round trip).
What about Food?
We will be preparing bountiful healthy breakfasts (eggs, oatmeal, granola, fruits, nuts, yogurt, coffee, tea, etc.) and one second meal (either lunch or dinner). For those who desire a third meal, we have good news: you have a nice kitchen available, and there is a wonderful organic food co-op with a cafe that makes amazing sandwiches, soups, salads, etc. There is also a good dinner spot (although, again, most dinners are included).
Arrival and Transport
Hot Springs, Montana is located in Western Montana, under 1.5 hours from Missoula, the closest major airport. We probably won’t be renting a van for this week, so please plan to drive or rent a car. If you need a ride to or from the airport, we will do our best to either line you up with someone with a car, or possibly pick you up ($50 each way).
“Doing is never enough if you neglect being.”
