"It may be that when we no longer know what to do, we have come to our real work, and when we no longer know which way to go, we have begun our real journey." Wendell Berry

What is a semi-guided retreat?

A semi-guided retreat has all the benefits of privacy and solitude but is supplemented with the assistance of a trained counselor, again, only if desired. Usually you decide what and when you need one of the following, and talk with Dr. Boardman about it.

Mary is available for:

• sharing your concerns and questions,
• helping to process any issues that arise,
• developing a theme for your retreat,
• recommending related reading/music supporting your retreat theme,
• a sound healing session (using tuning forks or Tibetan bowls),
• a hands-on healing energy session,
• or brain entrainment session using the latest state-of-the-art audio or audio/visual entrainment technology,
• (these sessions are for an extra fee).
• She can also arrange for a massage therapist to come out and give you a massage (you pay the massage therapist separately.)

All of the above sessions are designed to take you deeper within yourself for healing or transformation.

Here at Nature’s Song, we value this sacred aspect of your life. We honor your choice to be still and retreat from the world. We are here to support your journey in any way we can.

Please call and talk with us about any special need or question that you may have. We want you to feel safe and comfortable in your time here.

What about meals and food?

Food arrangements are flexible. We have a microwave and refrigerator. Many people choose to bring their own food so they can eat whenever and whatever they please without distraction. Some people have us cook just a breakfast, lunch or dinner. Just let us know what you need.

Silence is the friend of Truth. Life is a walk of faith.

"Wherever your heart leads you, that is where you must be. That is where the call of love comes from. You come to transform your planet; and though that may seem to be an absurdly impossible thing, it is not. Every moment you move to your remembering the darkness is lighted. Every moment you open your heart the world becomes a better place." Emmanuel
