Naming a company is hard! Especially when you want a few letters or words to capture a lot of meaning to describe your health and wellness retreats. Our owner, Kate Hamm, created a series of videos to share the story about AnamBliss and it’s meaning. Experience AnamBliss for yourself at one of our upcoming wellness…
As the saying goes, there are two sides to every story. The same remains true of diets. In a previous article, we discussed the benefits and reasons a person might go vegan; but we did not touch on the “other” side of veganism. Just as there are benefits of a vegan lifestyle, there are also…
My two year old niece loves the story, “We’re Going on A Bear Hunt.” There was one night I read it to her about 5 times. As we were prepping for our retreat in Vermont this June, the trails were still muddy and there was even a solid stream. Of course, “We’re Going on A…
As a vegan, I get many confused looks and curious questions. Can vegans eat fish? No? Oh, but you can eat cheese… No cheese? No eggs? No milk or meat or honey?? Then what do you eat? Probably one of the most common questions aimed at vegans, after of course, ‘where do you get your…

Talking to someone about reducing their stress after a night of insomnia from the overwhelming list of tasks that I didn’t have time to do, makes me feel like a fraud. But I’m not. I’m someone who…
The end of the year is near and now begins the time when we look at what we wish to accomplish in the coming year. It is our opportunity to reinvigorate our life and work on becoming better versions of ourselves. Our goals could be anything, they could be based on health, work, family or…
I used to just put on my shoes and went out for a run. Now I can’t really do that. My already hyper-stable (i.e. not bendy) body hates me if I do that now, especially my calves and ankles. That means shorter runs and more recovery time between when I go out. Fortunately, I have…
