“This month, we broaden our focus of self-care as we embrace our October theme to Support a Cause. Through lending a hand and giving of our time or resources, we seek to share the wellspring of health, happiness and fun that is the daily practice at Glen Ivy Hot Springs.”

Throughout the year Glen Ivy offers advice, guidance and reminders on the importance of taking time to care for ourselves. In the course of our busy, sometimes overburdened lives, we often forget to turn within to listen to the subtle messages of our bodies and still, quiet whispers of our soul. At Glen Ivy, we embrace and offer experiences anchored in the Seven Timeless Truths of Spa as a means to create a space to reconnect with ourselves and nurture personal wellness. We are reminded that by honoring oneself through taking time for good food, discovering a connection with nature, by keeping our bodies healthy and fit and enjoying healing treatments and therapies, through finding a deeper sense of wellbeing, seeking knowledge to learn and grow and through nurturing relationships, we connect with a wellspring of health and wellbeing that allows us to feel happier about ourselves and our lives.

Nurturing this deeper sense of individual wellbeing is often thought to be selfish; becoming the impetus for many to abandon a regimen of personal wellbeing. However, those that stay the course and dive deeply into practices of uncompromising self-care discover that when filled with the joy of a healthy and vibrant body, mind and soul, there is a sense of connection with humanity and an unselfishness that can only be experienced when acting from a place of fullness. This month, we broaden our focus of self-care as we embrace our October theme to Support a Cause. Through lending a hand and giving of our time or resources, we seek to share the wellspring of health, happiness and fun that is the daily practice at Glen Ivy Hot Springs.

In a sense, our challenge to Support a Cause is a focused celebration of the overflow of goodness that results from our daily observance of self care, and throughout the month we will be providing opportunities to give back to the community. On October 13^th and 27^th local nursing home residents will receive an uplifting gift of container gardens created by you in flower pots bearing your artwork.  Members of Glen Ivy’s Facebook and Twitter communities will be invited to make a difference by donating just $1 to various causes supported by philanthroper.com. On October 23^rd, we will gather for Glen Ivy’s first annual Women’s Health Day, which features speakers, presenters and classes that support various aspects of Women’s Health.  Ten dollars of each regularly-priced admission collected on this day will be donated to Casa de Paz, an Inland Empire women’s shelter and transitional living facility for victims of domestic violence.

We look forward to seeing you,
