Healing Drum Retreat

This upcoming Healing Drum Retreat, March 20-22nd 2009 will offer a collection of activities that promote wellness for body, mind and spirit. Let’s talk a little about that first category, body.  What better expression of life can be found other than great food.

Brighton Creek Conference Center is a wonderful retreat center, set in the footprint of Mount Rainier in Roy, Washington.  The facility has a comfortable dining hall, a large auditorium, and many small cabins for attendees.  Lodging and meals are included in the low cost of this retreat.  Let’s look at a sampling of the foods that the Brighton Creek Chef has in mind for our weekend event:

Friday evening we will be treated to a wonderful southern style catfish.  Side dishes, including vegetarian will be available at any meal.

Curry chicken will be our tasty treat on Saturday evening before our campfire.  Saturday’s lunch will offer taco’s, a wonderful, healthy meal.  Many veggies will be available for your custom built taco.

Sunday’s lunch gives us a warming soup and sandwich combination.

Did we forget something?  Oh no, we never forget breakfast, our most important meal.  There is a wide selection for breakfast, including proteins and oatmeals.  Our wonderful cook always brings many great dishes for our enjoyment.

One of the things I enjoy most about Brighton Creek, and one of the reason why we offer the Healing Drum Retreat at this conference center, is the care and love that goes into all the food.  Their chef is a radiant spirit, and this shows in her smile and her cooking.   We are often offered desserts, but many of us are so happy with the meals that we have no room left for snacking!

Earlier we mentioned the campfire.  This will be weather permitting, but at our others event the weather has always been hospitable.  If you are attending the retreat and would like to bring s’more ingredients, we can share these and have our toasted marshmellow treats at the campfire.
