Self-Care Retreat

Start your trip by connecting to the present moment at Copper Beech Institute, a center for mindfulness and meditation. Take a class, go on a retreat, or even walk the labyrinth.

Want to really chill? Try cryotherapy at Restore Hyper Wellness. Then grab a healthy, mindfully sourced meal at plant-based restaurant, Flora and spend the night at Delamar West Hartford.

The next morning, try state-of-the-art healing therapies including float therapy, infrared sauna, and compression therapy at Imagine Float.

Then stop in at Dom’s Coffee for an artisanal latte or find gluten-free and vegan treats at Pure Love Bakery. Still hungry? Grab a local, organic and sustainably harvested bite at Marketplace Kitchen & Bar — especially if it’s warm enough to sit on the patio. Then settle in at Avon Old Farms Hotel.

Head over to Farmington for more cryotherapy or even a massage at Caveman Cryotherapy + Recovery. Then try the Ayurvedic Bliss massage at Soma Spa, featuring a calming warm oil massage followed by steam. After, grab some nutritious fuel at Toasted Oat Cafe.

For a little movement, walk or bike the Farmington Canal Heritage Trail or yoga at Bridge Healing Arts Center. Need a place to crash? Try the Farmington Inn.

Not too far away, try another new (and adorable) experience: goat yoga at Bradley Mountain Farm in Southington. After, relax to the max at A Moment Away Spa then head to the town center for a great selection of restaurants including Flair, Anthony Jacks, and Ideal Tavern.
