Teleion Holon, New Retreat in Manchester, VT, Focuses on Holistic Well Being
MANCHESTER, VT, November 15, 2005. Albert Levis, MD, proprietor of The Wilburton Inn in Manchester, VT, announces the opening of Teleion Holon, a holistic retreat near the Inn that combines traditional wellness practices with creative explorations that helps to fast track holistic well being.
Teleion Holon resident hosts are Oliver Levis, Dr. Levis' son, who holds an undergraduate degree in agriculture from Cornell, and Oliver's wife, Bonnie, who holds an advanced degree in education from Bank Street School. Bonnie is also the resident chef who specializes in organic vegetarian cuisine.
Guests lodge in a recently refurbished Tudor manor offering 10 guest rooms, each with private bath (some with Jacuzzi), a multi-use ballroom / fitness studio, a spacious living room, classrooms and a teaching kitchen. Oliver and Bonnie are developing a self-sufficient farmstead as part of Teleion Holon's holistic identity with chickens, cows and a one acre vegetable garden on site.
On-premise organic gardens provide fresh vegetables and herbs for homegrown vegetarian communal meals. Dairy products come from organically raised cows and free-range chickens provide organic eggs.
In this peaceful setting in Vermont's mountains, guests partake of healing treatments and activities over 1 to 6-night retreats, with ample time scheduled for solitude, walks, journaling and discussion.
"While body and spirit are commonly addressed at holistic retreats, the mind is often neglected," says Dr. Levis, who holds a doctoral degree in psychiatry from Yale and who maintained a practice in Hamden, CT, for 35 years. He notes that Teleion Holon is Greek for "perfect universe."
The retreat focuses on empowerment by applying insights of classical art and mythology and personal creativity.
A typical day begins with Bonnie's breakfasts including homemade granola. The day's program includes classes in tai chi, yoga and cooking, with opportunities for massage. Dr. Levis offers workshops in creativity and self-exploration that include tours of a garden of sculpture acquired and arranged by Dr. Levis to emphasize a history of love.
The nightly rate inclusive of accommodation, breakfast and morning yoga is from $100 double occupancy. Additional meals and fees for special programming are extra. Upcoming programs include such topics as holistic health, nutritional cooking and introducing children to healthy eating through their own series of classes.
Teleion Holon will also be available to practitioners who wish to bring their own clients into these pastoral settings. Please contact Oliver Levis for details.
