A Life Changing Experience!

Optimize Well-being;  Embrace Vitality!

This is an unique opportunity for a transformative experience that will optimize your well-being and give you a new sense of vitality.   Reconnect with your health and wellness goals while savoring delicious, abundant, and artfully prepared whole food plant-based meals!

Informative presentations will be led by Dr. Cynthia Morgan, Founder and Executive Medical Director of the Ozark Center for Lifestyle Medicine.  Come immerse yourself in the emerging medical field of Lifestyle Medicine and learn about the six pillars that serve as therapeutic lifestyle interventions to treat chronic conditions including, but not limited to, cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, and obesity. The body wants to heal, and Lifestyle Medicine helps individuals identify and remove obstacles to this natural healing process. Indeed, you will learn of the power inherent in every bite, every step, every extra minute of sleep, every moment spent in nature, and every supportive encounter with a loved one.

Not only will you experience the impact of a healthy lifestyle during this weekend immersion, but you will be provided with practical physical goals to take home as well.  All participants will have the opportunity to undergo anthropometric screening with Dr. Morgan measuring your height, weight, along with a few other key body circumferences, to then calculate your approximate body composition.  You will then be provided with unique weight loss (or gain) landmarks to help you reach the ideal body weight that will help you prevent and possibly reverse disease.

The Setting

The Ozark Mountain Region stands as the largest preserved wilderness in the Eastern United States, offering a sanctuary for wildlife amidst picturesque hiking trails and breathtaking waterfalls. Tucked within the Ozark Mountains, the enchanting Victorian town of Eureka Springs provides an ideal setting for relaxation. Recognized on the National Register of Historic Places since 1970, the town’s historic district boasts a rich history marked by vibrant prosperity, intriguing stories, and the allure of stone structures and Victorian residences. Eureka Springs is renowned for its magical healing waters and sacred Native American springs.  Given how special this small town is,  we are including a privately guided historical walking tour of downtown Eureka Springs.

This retreat will take place just on a scenic country road just outside Eureka Spring’s city limits, less than 5 minutes from Thorncrown Chapel, the most celebrated piece of architecture built in Arkansas, designed by architect E. Fay Jones.
