This week we spent a day with Susanna Belen, owner of the We Care Spa in Desert Hot Springs, CA.
Not only was her place beautiful, but she had some amazing things set up on the property that we asked her to explain for us.
One was the medicine wheel that was in the front of the property.
Check it out…
Your question of the day: What kind of spa experiences have you had? What are the best ones out there?

Hi Kevin and Annemarie:
YES, I LOVE and have been to We Care more than once. I was considering a trip back recently when the juice fast in LA popped up. The AGAPE ctr cleansed seemed easier for me at the moment with all my activities.
I must admit I have missed Susanna and the loving We Care staff especially this week. As you know, there’s more to the spa than the labyrinth and the medicine wheel. A few additional features to note are the info red sauna the salt water pool and Jacuzzi’s, body treatment rooms, colon hydrotherapy rooms, yoga/mediation rooms.. Not to mention the clean, private, comfortable guest rooms. There are daily classes on nutrition and healing with outside guests as well as Susanna. They are such compassionate souls…
Susanna’s classes are wonderful. During your stay, Susanna is the Argentinean Mama that really cares, as in their name:-) I HIGHLY recommend We Care!!.. For me, a lot of healing (on all levels) has occurred at that special place nestled away in Desert Hot Springs!
PS).. Good to see you both today.. will you be blogging about the LA visit tomorrow?

What a cool show! I enjoyed it so much… thank you!
I’ve been to a few colon hydrotherapy sessions that were named as a “spa” treatment… haha I don’t know if I’d consider that a “spa,” although I definitely enjoyed it and its aftereffects!

I am going to the Hipprocrates Health Institute for a three week stay in May.

People with money like her, can walk in circles everyday and call it spiritual. She doesn’t know that there is no proof Jesus ever lived. She has been programed for so long that seeing a realistic point of few is forever beyond her ability. Please go to http://www.processed.com

I have been to two spas and enjoyed both of them. One was in Calistoga, Ca (can’t remember the name) and the other was Rancho La Puerta in Mexico. That one is a 7 day stay and has a lot to offer. Many people go every year. It’s expensive but well worth it.

I spent 3 wonderful weeks in Feb. at the Hippocrates Health Institute in FL. The raw vegan food was great. Green juice and wheatgrass juice twice a day! Educational classes and wonderful therapies. Exercise classes(Qigong was my favorite) and beautiful grounds to walk in. I didn’t want to come home!! Hope I can go back again next year.

John Thornley, what are you talking about here? What did she say that leads you to make such an assumption and what does what you say have to do with what was said here? Thanks, just trying to understand. Cookie

Hi Kevin and Annmarie: Where will you be at the Anaheim Expo West this weekend? I would feel privilege in meeting the two of you. Dr. Donna

I too have been to the “We Care Spa” in Desert Hot Springs. It is a very peacefu and relaxing place. Kevin, did you or AnnMarie use the Vibration Machine? It really helps all your systems to function better and especially allows the Lymph system to shed it toxicity. They also do live blood testing there. Isn’t it beautiful here this time of year?

I missed the LOUD Kevin Gianni intro! I really like it. John Thornley get over yourself. Why are you here being so negative? Isn’t that in itself counter productive to the kind of lifestyle that we are all searching for here — Calm, peaceful, healthy and meditative? Sincerely, CINDY R.

I really enjoy your shows but as a Christian I don’t want to be influenced with New Age thougts’. It seems to me that you guys are influenced by it en so your shows increasingly include more of New Age people and their ideas.
I wonder why it is that so many people with healthy lifestyles are into New Age? Is it part of this philosophy?

I to missed the LOUD Kevin Gianni intro but understand that the situation and location you are in requires a softer aproach. thanks for keeping it real guys.

I am a nursing mother and it looks like nobody want to take care of detoxifying of these kind of women, because nursing mothers are not excepted there, no colonics for them offered anywhere.
12:00 pm on March 6th, 2009
Really great show! I enjoyed the explanation of the medicine wheel and compass. Thanks Kevin and Anne Marie.
2:00 pm on March 6th, 2009
Hey John Thorney, I found your comment interesting, and I did go to the http://www.processed.com to see what it was you were referring us to check out, but it is not much of anything. You may want to resend that www for those of us who are curious what that site is about.
I have to agree with Frank too, as the healthy lifestyle seems to promote the new age philosophy that does not appeal to everyone. It doesn’t really believe in anything does it, just peace and calm. Reminds me of the 60’s movement.
I was planning to go to the health expo this weekend, but my flights out are heavily booked and I am on standby, so I may not make it. Please keep us posted of other expo’s etc. that you guys plan to attend, and perhaps we will have another opportunity to meet up.
Of course, you are personally invited to visit us here in beautiful Grand Junction, Colorado, great hiking, and just an hour away is the world’s largest hot spring pools and vapor caves in Glenwood Springs. Hope you make it through on your travels. Not a place to miss, this is how we arrived here on a visit with friends, and we have called it home for the past 18 years.
Take care,
Rhonda

Kevin -
I really enjoy seeing the more “quieter”(and RELAXED)you!
I’m glad that you gusy are experiencing and sharing many of the different types of Spiritual aspects that are out there. I am a Christian also, but have found that we need to be more tolerant of belefs “different” from ours and not fear any of them just because we do not undertand. By the way, the labrinth has been included in the Christian traditions for centuries. I knew what a medicine wheel was, but now that it has been explained I really understand it much better. Thank you.
Spas can be a great place for personal renewal, change & growth. Many of us today are in such a hurry just to “earn” a living that we forget to “create” a life. The experiences that you and Ann Marie are sharing each day definately remind me that I need to do more of that and also show us what is possible.
Peace and Blessings for safe travels.

Hi Kevin, thank you for another great show! I love the variety of information and ideas that we get from watching!
I spent 2 weeks at Hippocrates in Australia a couple of years ago and am booked in to stay for just 5 days at the Aio Wira centre in New Zealand at the end of April – I’m really looking forward to it!
Natalya, if you want to clean your body, this really should be done before conception or after breastfeeding. When you detox, you stir up deep seated toxins. It’s not safe for a baby to be exposed to these toxins via your breast milk.

Hi Kevin, wonderful show on the medicine wheel and very informative, keep up the good work. And I also missed the Kevin Gianni speach when you first start your show, just love it.

I live in Israel.We have many great spas.We evenhave two raw food retreat places.If you are ever ikn Israel,get in touch with me.

In Israel Jerry and Edna Mintz have built a beautiful spa on the Hippocrates model called “Mitzpe Alummot” overlooking the Sea of Galilee. We were just there for days – fabulous – here’s the link to the english site – http://www.alummot.co.il/English/

I work at the A.R.E. health spa in Virginia Beach. We are connected to Edgar Cayce’s organization and we do treatments in line with many of his readings…massage, castor oil packs, colonics, steam baths, epsom salts baths, and more. There is no housing at the A.R.E. but many hotels nearby on the beach. I highly recommend a visit to learn more about one of the first american born psychics and holistic health advocates…Edgar Cayce.
As for all the raw food spas…I think they are hypocrites. They say that the way to bring peace and health to the planet is through raw foods and a loving attitude toward all, yet their programs prohibit anyone but the richest people from participating. I have yet to find any affordable for the general population living paycheck to paycheck and I havent found any with scholarships or inner city altruistic programs. It is easy to see why they lead peaceful lives…they have escaped life as most poor, obese children have to live it.

Loved the soft into too…but love you both just being yourselves the best–whatever that looks like on any given day! The topic was great–love learning about both the medicine maze and the medicine wheel…woud love to stay there. If we all think on it…maybe there will be away to start an affordable spa and still make it work financially…to start-what would be an ideal location for year round ideal climate? If you come to W Palm Beach FL –you are welcome to stay in my guest room and sleep in the French Castle bed that I got at a super sale one lucky day!

Re Katie’s comments, I am glad to see your input on the Virginia opportunity. As to the other, we need to remember that rhetoric aside, these places are businesses, after all.
Maybe the spas could offer loans-for-stays that could be paid off, or worked off after attendance. What great advertising, after all, to have some of their success stories working on premises sharing the details of recovered health. I’d like to be first in line!
Just a thought.
I just hope the talk about money does not mislead people. Because it is sad to me when some have the idea that only the wealthy can afford the raw lifestyle. Certainly attendance at high-end spas requires $$$. But that is such a tiny element, like attaching a glittery sticker to a securely wrapped package.
Simple organic raw produce is key, part of a streamlined life of love and goals consisting of expunging excess and clutter, among other things. Certainly, pricey superfoods, gourmet recipes, regular shipments from raw enterprises (I’d LOVE Matt Amsden’s weekly Box myself!) as well as spa vacations would be wonderful. And maybe that will come in good time. I just don’t want to see people discouraged from even trying, thinking large outlays of money are required. Because that’s just not the case. Right? All bests, C

it was nice to see the medicine wheel and the dromenon. i was hoping you would do a segment on gabriel’s dromenon when you were at the tree of life. he says it’s the largest in north america. thanks for the show, as usual.
