Went up to Calistoga yesterday with Dr. Stephanie Leonard, who teaches a gentle stress reduction program called en'wave, to check out some spots for our retreat.
Calistoga has hot springs and Stephanie had the vision that this was ancient land.
Turns out, according to one history, that there was a volcanic eruption in this valley about 3 million years ago, and the lava warmed the waters! So there you go...
We looked at a bunch of places from a sort of posh retreat place with a large pool and a Buddha garden (big bucks Buddha), with the usual high end spa treatments, to a low end Euro type spa, to a cutesy place with a small pool and garden, nice rooms, serving boutique breakfast and afternoon snack, to a medical type spa with healing history. Also found a wilderness retreat center, big acres, down a windy windy road.
Pros and cons for each...I need a pool that's warm and clean and big enough for about 15 people, shallow enough for short people deep enough for tall to walk the pathway provided by a YinYang Water Labyrinth.
