*There are no planned retreats for the 2006 season. Visiting the Mabel White House is more than an experience. It is a lifestyle that you will always truly remember. Located on a peaceful natural preserve and estuary, it is full of life including frequent visits by Blue Herons, Pink Spoon Bills, and hundreds of Pelicans. Dolphin sightings are also common. Learn how to make the best soaps, candles, lotion and other bathroom toiletries, as well as the art of fragrance blending in this 4 day retreat. The Mabel White House is complete with a beach to relax and watch the sunset and Jacuzzi to unwind after classes. Bring your swim suit as we have been known to play in the water during lunch break! The Mabel White House is on a large bay front property with many lovely gardens. Located near the John and Mable Ringling Museum, in Sarasota, FL, the location is easy to fly in and fly out. |

All materials, breakfast and lunch are included. A

The deposit can be applied to a later class date. However, all
deposits will be refunded immediately if weather conditions do not
permit specific retreat dates to be possible. This means
hurricanes are not included. Members prior to June 1st, 2005 are
welcome at 1/2 the fee. We prefer our students to
stay on site during the retreat and no discount will be granted for
anyone who plans to commute. Every attempt possible will be
made to match retreat participants to their skill level, focus and
lifestyle so each class chemistry is high. A $100 discount per
person is offered if a student is bringing another student. This
means their fees would be $875. Remember, retreats are a 12
person maximum.
