JOIN US FOR A DAY OF WELLNESS
OCT 10TH, 2026
You are invited to join us at the stunning Bridge Between The Worlds Retreat Center in Keswick, Virginia, on October 10th, 9:00am, where we will pamper you upon arrival with some early refreshments and take time to explore this peaceful facility.
You'll be greeted by your host Dawn Deiman, CMT, E-RYT, YACEP along with facilitators: Dr. Nancy Talley, LAc, E-RYT500; Mina Cantu, LMT (read bios below).
We will gather for a quick welcome and introduction to the facility and all it has to offer. After, you'll come into the beautiful practice space (pictured above) to set your energy for the day with a relaxing Yin Yoga practice focused on supporting the vagus nerve & nervous system regulation.
You'll have time between Yin and your next segment to enjoy the stunning Infrared Sauna room pictured to your left, walking trails on this spacious 12 acre property or unwind in the hot tub located right by the lake and gazebo.
YOUR DAY CONTINUES.....
Join massage therapist Mina Cantu for an expert-led class exploring trigger point therapy and myofascial release.
Chronic stress can contribute to protective holding patterns and muscular tension throughout the body. Mina will guide you through accessible techniques for identifying and releasing areas of tension so you can begin creating your own self-care routine at home.
You’ll receive stress massage balls and additional take-home treats to continue practicing what you learn long after the retreat ends.
DELICIOUS HEALTHY FOODS.....
LUNCHTIME
Your day includes a delicious healthy catered lunch with options for those who are vegetarian, gluten or dairy free.
There will be refreshments all day long including lemon water, herbal teas, mocktails including healthy nootropics & adaptogens for relaxing.
Plenty of time & space after lunch to take in the sauna, hot tub or nature trails. Perhaps spend time connecting to others or find a private place to reflect and journal.

Dr. Nancy Talley, LAc, E-RYT-500 is looking forward to providing you with a relaxing & health optimizing acupuncture treatment to complete your day.
Designed to help you regulate your nervous system while enjoying calming sound frequencies and a Guided Meditation while you find stillness in your acupuncture treatment.
