Dreamlike in the Berkshires
When I to need to re-charge NOW, and a flight to Belize is out of the question, I hop a Peter Pan bus to Kripalu in Lenox, MA. Every week there are four to five mini retreats in full swing. Some of these are on the wacky side of wellness (Healing Power of Drumming, Ritual and Chanting starts May 2nd), while others are deprivation-focused, (i.e. a seven day Organic Juice Purification Retreat starting April 24th). I've found if you choose wisely, the experience can be just right. Here's one program for Pilates junkies to consider: On June 26th, Alycea Ungaro, owner of Tribeca-based Real Pilates, is hosting a three day Everyday Pilates retreat at Kripalu.

Detox, Retox in Tuscany
In a perfect world, simply lifting a wine glass from table to mouth would get you nicely sculpted triceps. In fact, fitness and boozing don't generally mix. Done in quick succession, however, the experience can be exceptional. Those in need of decompression, please note: The Spannocchia Foundation is hosting a week long retreat, "Yoga, Walking, and Discovery," at Tenuta di Spannocchia from April 30th to May 6th. (Yes, it's high retreat season, and we'll be posting all the most promising.)
