monashee

Beginning in the 1960's the Monashee became a haven for those seeking to "tune in, turn on, drop out". It was a culture that brought a vast number of artists and alternative healers. This along with a Seventh Day Adventist Community which focused on healthy living and natural foods, all lent to a culture that would create the Mountains of Peace a place where trying to become a better person would become a community goal.

Today whether its traditional forms of wellness or something a little more on the edge there's many opportunities to treat yourself to the natural beauty of the area with a mix of advanced health education and lifestyle training which can provide opportunities to experience enhanced health.
