    The BBRC is a true gem that's conveniently located just 2.5 hours away from Los Angeles. The facilities are top notch and very comfortable. The setting is woodsy and allows one to commune with nature. The meals are vegetarian, wholesome, hearty and well prepared. The facilitators vary but are all well trained and versed in many techniques but they vary depending on the programming. I truly enjoyed my time there and highly recommend it to anyone seeking to learn more about practicing meditation be they novices or experienced practitioners.

    Fantastic retreat center with awesome accommodations and facilities in a spectacular setting.

    We recently stayed at the Retreat Center with friends and had a wonderful time. It is so peaceful in several acres of forest, you walk out of your cabin into the fresh air under huge pine trees. There are trails to walk on the property, its a wonderful place to relax and recharge. The cabin was super clean and comfortable with heat, a kitchen, wifi. Though it's in the forest, it's also very conveniently close to grocery stores and restaurants, and the attractions of Big Bear. Great place to stay and get away from it all.

What a great place and experience with Jan! Rejuvenate with Jan Holistic Detox Cleanse Juice Fast that Jan has created is a very effective, well-thought-out, and well-organized cleansing program. Aside from being a wonderful person, host, and guide, she knows her stuff and is generous with her knowledge, supplements, and juicing. No fruit, no caffeine, and green juicing on her program convinced me she knows what she's doing. Her supplements (many of which are new to me) are effective at cleansing and supporting the detox program. We were a wonderful group of 13 from all over the states, with super friendly colon hydrotherapist Monica, inspiring transformational breath guide Gala, and yoga instructors too. A rejuvenating experience--a total reboot with every cell in my the body saying -today is awesome and the future is full of all sorts of exciting possibilities. Thank you, Jan. Blessed to have met you and your program. The hotel, where the program is held, Azure Palm Hot Springs Resort & Spa is well maintained with friendly and helpful staff. The multiple natural mineral hot spring tubs within a natural desert landscape--with quail and roadrunners visiting--are energizing, connecting us back to our essence. The large mineral hot springs pool on the property is wonderful too, with chairs for sunning and views overlooking Mt. San Jacinto and the Coachella Valley. All the rooms I visited also had mountain views and were well appointed. The spa staff and facilities are great too.

I had been highly interested in learning how to intermittently fast. And fast we did! Truly detoxified the body and left with strength and knowledge that will last the rest of my days. Even The honesty and humility I felt from everyone else that participated was something very special. If you have even the slightest interest in a program such as Jan's I sincerely hope you listen to that inner voice immediately and take the plunge. You will never regret or forget such an amazing experience. Feel free to ask me any questions about my experience and I'll be happy to respond. Thank you Jan and thank you to everyone that participated.

When these points are gently touched, thoughts, beliefs and emotions effortlessly and easily release. Negative beliefs stop you from creating a life you love. Access Bars is a potent and pragmatic tool used by wellness practitioners, schools, businesses and mental health professionals. Academic research has shown that Access Bars treatment can reduce anxiety and depression. Join a free call on May 8th at noon about the 1-day class in Big Bear on June 1 to learn more. Think of the brain like a busy computer. There’s a lot of helpful stuff in there but also a lot of clutter and junk. Financial stress or negative beliefs we’ve had since childhood can clutter your efficiency. Touching areas where this junk is stored can release it, like rebooting a computer. The soothing process can help you run more smoothly. It can lower stress, increase energy and help you sleep more restfully as well. Create a new reality while training in the Access Bars method to release blocks and open to possibilities. Let go of limitations and embrace beautiful, infinite possibilities for your life. Ashley will help you tap into miracles and magic in your own mind. Join her in her Big Bear Retreat for a 1-day training where you will receive an International Certificate. Ashley is a certificated teacher and can help you delve into your imagination for a life beyond your dreams!

I'm always grateful for how well and caring everyone is taking care of me and everyone that visits here. We Care Spa is magical, spiritual, but most of all it's a place of healing. Healing your mind, healing your body, healing your future. I've been here 6 maybe 7 times and I always leave with more knowledge than before. I love making a small change I when I go back to the real world. Mostly with my food. Being mindful and grateful for the meal in front of me. And as Susanna says.... Chew chew chew your food. Take your enzymes before a meal. Don't drink with your meals. Eat fruits alone. Eat on an empty stomach. These are such simple things everyone can do. It's just a matter of routine. You can make the changes. Just one small step at a time. I wish everyone well. I wish everyone peace and grace with your body and journey. Until next time We Care Spa. Thank you so much for all you do. You've touched me on a cellular level! Literally.

My journey brought healing to my almost completely deaf ear. I'm going back and bringing my husband for the the overnight treatments. We live in Los Angeles, so I took a trip out before my friend, Nedalee, even opened. Now Im hearing from people who've been healed of numerous ailments, even blindness. We've known her husband, Cayetano, for some time with blindness in one eye. He's being healed and I've heard from others of all kinds of healing in the light. I also know of complete healing across the autism spectrum. They've thought of everything for the experience of a lifetime, all coming from a place of love. You'll feel it and you'll know. The space is beautiful, peaceful, full of energy and light. As you enter, you know you're in a good light, the beginning of all good things. I can't wait to come back with my husband.

From pick up after surgery to the last day, the level of care I received was exceptional. This is not just a recovery space--it is a thoughtfully curated experience rooted in compassion, professionalism, and true attention to detail. It is clear this is a place designed for healing in every sense. What stood out most to me was the people. Paige and her team have created something incredibly special, and that energy is reflected in every person you meet. I felt genuinely supported, seen, and cared for during a very vulnerable time. Paige personally drove me home from surgery, held my hand walking into my follow-up visit, and made sure every detail was clearly communicated with my doctor. I felt safe, supported, and truly cared for every step of the way. The nursing staff was outstanding--kind, attentive, and truly present. Their knowledge of recovery, combined with a calm and reassuring approach, made me feel completely safe and confident in the healing process. A heartfelt thank you to Katie, Sienna, Dominique, Karen, and Charissa--and to the many others whose kindness and care meant so much during my stay. The environment itself is peaceful and restorative, with a truly zen-like atmosphere that allows you to fully relax and focus on healing. The food was also incredible--thoughtfully prepared, nourishing, and far beyond what you would expect in a recovery setting. This experience changed the way I see healing, care, and support--and I will carry it with me always. If you are considering post-surgical care, this is truly the best decision you can make.
