Group Planting and Farewell





Our camp retreat has come to a blissful end and our wonderful group all gathers to wish us a fond farewell, each taking a sunflower to plant. Some will plant today on their various hikes, a few gather for a group plant outside New Life's base, some will carry and plant at their own special spot. It is a grand finale to our time.















We take with us a renewed well being, and contacts for future interactions. It is a wealth of goodness we carry forward and we are feeling pretty lucky that we've been able to experience such a wonderful time!

Thanks to all of our New Life friends for giving us so much love and support - we are incredibly grateful! And, here's to grand times ahead for all!!!

Hiking Camp!







The staff at New Life is just as delightful as the guests and the morning hikes offer a variety of options, which include beautiful scenery and a range of difficulty.



















































It is interesting to continue to watch these new bonds flourish as each day presents new challenges. It is just what we are needing as these past few months of travel have taken a toll on our well being. A routine of exercise, balanced diet, and interaction with new friends brings a true sense of well being.


The personalities here are wonderful and the support we receive as our adventure unfolds is amazing.

It's a New Life!








We love Vermont! After a little research, we decide to extend our time in Vermont a bit longer. Combining a bit of fitness and healthy eating with the beautiful hikes available in Vermont, we discover a spa in Killington, Vermont, which just happens to begin their season the day we're planning to move on. Additionally, we are only an hour and half away, so it seems this is a must do.












We meander the scenic drive south on 100, encompassing more covered bridges and waterfalls, they are in abundance in this beautiful state. The road brings us into the very deserted town of Killington, season is winter only here and, as we are one of the first to check in to the New Life facilities, we marvel at the isolation!


Slowly other guests arrive and an interesting bond develops among the diverse group of fellow health seekers. Our first group dinner provides the perfect scenario for introductions and we all learn a bit about each other, where we've come from, and why we're here. It's a comfortable, warm environment, and although our accommodations are quite basic, more of a summer camp feel, we are feeling we've made the right choice for getting back on track in this safe place.
