On any typical day, if you should find yourself feeling depressed, anxious, stressed and overloaded with life throwing things at you, and your eyes are downcast as you walk; if you are asking "Calgon Take Me Away," then consider "Inn The Shadow Retreat." You might discover the sounds of the river running over rocks and rippling down the mountain, or seeing a bald eagle soar in front of you coming to rest on a large Pine tree as you sit next to the babbling waterfall in the Koi pond. This is just what you need. Drawn into the expanding scene of flowers, forest, butterflies, birds and log cabin retreat facility, you become aware of the wider world of possibility all around you, and the feelings of gloom begin to evaporate like the morning dew.

This is known as Inn The Shadow Retreat with its own mascot made from Cedar wood depicting a Mother Bear standing tall with a cub in front and a cub behind her in the safety of her shadow. The log house retreat and training center is located on the old Barlow Trail and still has the original and historic Barlow Trail supply house fireplace standing in front. Sit on the outside deck viewing the Sandy River as travelers of old did, or next to the pond and waterfall, or walk the paths of the forest. Or if you prefer you can enjoy the hot tub under a cabana above the river - all part of the therapeutic process of healing the soul while learning and training. You could say it is "heaven" at first experience. The "magic" and "harmony of mind, body and spirit convergence" that happens creates a sense of wholeness, happiness and satisfaction.
