| The proposed Retreat for Whole Health is a centre for healing, the preservation of health and the prevention of disease. It is a centre that aids the client in the optimization of health through education and self-awareness of the body, mind and soul, including treatment when indicated. A pro-active approach to health and wellness will be advocated. This rural retreat will be located in an environment away from the congestion of the city, far from its noise, air pollution and other stresses. Two integral components of the Centre are education and body/mind cleansing and revitalization, integrating the holistic approach. Incorporating lecture, meeting spaces and treatment rooms as well as a resource centre, retail outlet for literature, supplements and health products, and a nutrition centre, is imperative to a balanced and comprehensive facility.;The Centre would be accessible to all people. The Centre will demonstrate that architectural design and the architectural experience are part of the force that can maintain and promote health. (Abstract shortened by UMI.). |
