The Boulders Resort & Golden Door Spa is offering a new holistic experience that is nothing less than life changing.

In keeping with the Japanese philosophy of satori as the "Aha!" moment of true understanding, the Carefree Spa Getaway Package features an array of activities from daily hikes and cooking classes to spa treatments and meditation, all designed to tune the body, inspire the spirit, and open the mind.

The package includes a daily group hike in the foothills of the Sonoran Desert; professional fitness assessment; three 50_minute spa services; daily meals and lectures; interactive cooking demonstration; group activities including labyrinth walks, yoga, and rock climbing; and more. And, drawing from the emphasis on the power of the universe, this package is available only once a month during the full moon.

The current 2008 dates of availability are Aug. 14-17 and Sept. 11-14. Only 12 guests are accepted each month and rates start at $1,399 per person or $1,199 for double occupancy. For more information, visit www.theboulders.com or call (480) 488-9009
