Travel to a retreat center nestled in the beautiful Pocono Mountains for this continuing education seminar to launch your mind's metabolism. Ever wonder why some people are energized with life and others are not? Why some 90-year-olds thrive, while some 40-year-olds barely have the energy to get through the day?
