Red Mountain Resort Goes Zen With Its Alternative Medicine Sessions

Where: 1275 EAST RED MOUNTAIN CIRCLE [map], IVINS, UT, United States, 84738

Red Mountain Resort & Spa wants you to go the natural route. Considered "alternative" to many in the West, Eastern medicine techniques have long been used to prevent and heal various illnesses. This month, Red Mountain is championing various alt-approaches in conjunction with Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

While we don't advocate one mode of healing over another, we do support awareness-raising efforts, and Red Mountain's approach just happens to translate into zen-inducing programs for guests. Just listen to the music on their homepage for a taste of the vibe they're going for.

Since there's a certain contingent that's dubious of chanting "Om" and being pricked by chakra-balancing needles, Red Mountain's programs are meant to educate as much as they are soothe your stressed out nerves. You can sign up to be led in a session of Preventative Meditation, learn more about "A Chinese Medical Perspective on Healing From Cancer", sit in on a lecture about Prevention, Detection and Nutrition, or partake in a Healing Fire Ceremony with a certified shaman.

Richard Gere's Got a Bed & Breakfast, And Yoga Is Only $20

Where: 954 Old Post Road [map], Bedford, NY, United States, 10506

Looks like someone took Nights in Rodanthe a little too much to heart: Richard Gere has opened his own Bed & Breakfast an hour outside of New York City in Bedford, NY. Called the Bedford Post Inn, the vintage house and barn with 8 guest rooms is the first step Gere and his wife are taking towards fulfilling their dream that the place "will be a magnet for like-minded, powerful souls to come together to save the planet—or at least to chat about big-picture ideas over veggie burgers."

Gere, a Buddhist, has even cleared the attic to make way for a serene "yoga loft," which opened in late 2008 along with the Bed & Breakfast's restaurant, Moonbat, focused on on local ingredients and the slow food philosophy.
