SpaDay

Reported by: Keene K.

In May, the first six members to sign up for the Spa Day enjoyed a relaxing get away from the normal hustle and grind of Caracas. We enjoyed a facial, anti-stress massage, a special introduction class to Gyrokinesis, and a very elegant vegetarian lunch. Situated in "Hacienda Trinidad", Corpus Menti is a quiet retreat just beyound the P&G building in La Trinidad. One might expect a stark white clinical spa as one might find at a mall in the U.S. Instead, walking into a Corpus Menti is like walking into a vacation resort. The facials are completed inside the Hacienda, but the massages are administered in private screened cabanas a short walk above the verdant garden. Once the massage is completed, you have the option of taking an outdoor shower. All kinds of massages are available, including prenatal massage, California style massage and hot stones. The Introduction to Gyrokinesis class was an interesting combination of Pilates and Yoga, and it was as vigrous as you wanted it to make it. At the end of our half day, we were all eager for lunch to be served. Who knew that being pampered all day would be such a hard work? We enjoyed our all vegetarian lunch with fresh prepared juices in a casually elegant setting. A wonderful end to a relaxing day. It was such a joy being at Corpus Menti, the June Coffee morning will be held there, so that all the members can have the opportunity to relax in their beautiful garden setting.

Thank you to Diana M. for organizing this wonderful retreat. You can check out Corpus Menti on the web to organize your own visit.
