The intention of the B, M & S Hangout was to give RVers the opportunity to take a retreat-style vacation without worrying about where to store the rig, and have it in an amazing location where people could relax and recharge. Attendees would leave feeling transformed and having learned self-care techniques to aid them for life on and off the road. The B, M& S Hangout was so successful that mid-week attendees wanted to know when the next one would be. So, I’m thrilled to announce the Body, Mind & Spirits 1000 Islands Hangout, September 19–26, 2023, in the 1,000 Islands area of upper New York state. This picturesque area of 1,800 islands is on the St. Lawrence Seaway dividing the US and Canada. Since the Gilded Age, this area has been a retreat haven known for its clear waters, spectacular scenery, miles of shoreline, beautiful and mysterious castles, quaint historic towns and vacation tranquility. Coupled with the area’s beauty, this Hangout will support your overall well-being and nurture your soul. Your mornings will begin with fi nding balance in yoga and meditation classes. Classes for both begin

ner and advanced students will focus on breathing and deep stretching to replenish and energize your being. Afternoons will encourage active movement with hiking, kayaking, boating, fi shing and sight seeing, as well as quiet time for massage and other bodywork therapies. Evenings will focus on restorative yoga practices, bon fi res, healthy foods, and holistic rituals that deepen our community connections. The Hangout is curated to be a complete system of self-care techniques you can continue to use in your nomadic lifestyle. Registration for the Body, Mind & Spirits 1000 Islands Hangout will open on Wednesday, May 3, 2023 at 10:00 am Central time. Look for more detailed information about this Hangout, along with many other wonderful Hangouts, on the Escapees website at escap ees.com/hangouts and on social media. Thank you to David and Cheryl for the countless hours of training and mentoring. I am grateful to you. I am looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones at an event soon.
