Retreats by The Healing Order
An Invitation to Restoration
True restoration requires more than a temporary pause; it demands a completely integrated therapeutic environment where every sensory detail works in tandem. We believe that when you are provided the space to slow down, realign your focus, and submerge yourself in natural beauty, vitality emerges organically. What follows is the structural blueprint of that collaborative journey.
The Daily Rhythm
The Healing Order invites you to join us for six nights of immersive healing, restoration, and renewal in the heart of the Columbia River Gorge.
Designed for individuals seeking a deeper relationship with their health, our retreats create the conditions for healing by restoring the relationships that support vitality and well-being: our relationship with ourselves, with nature, with food, with medicine, with community, and with the rhythms that shape daily life.
Coordinated Paths to Renewal
- Morning tea and qigong
- Guided forest bathing and Columbia River Gorge excursions
- Acupuncture, massage, and individualized therapies
- Cedar enzyme baths, oil dispersion therapy, halotherapy, and hydrotherapy
- Shared meals featuring seasonal, locally sourced, and wild-foraged ingredients
- Educational discussions, creative activities, and community experiences
- Reflection, restoration, and integration
Each retreat begins with a physician-guided screening and assessment followed by the development of an individualized treatment plan. Therapeutic treatments, nourishing meals, movement practices, educational experiences, restorative time in nature, and periods of reflection are woven together into a single coordinated experience.
The Healing Order is not designed as an escape from life. It is an invitation to return to the conditions that allow life to flourish.

Qigong, Nature & Rejuvenation
January 2-9, 2027
Playa Viva Eco‑Resort | Zihuatanejo, Mexico
Escape the isolation and artificial environments of modern life to step into an intentional return to the conditions that allow life to flourish. We invite you to join clinic founder Dr. Heiner Fruehauf for a week-long therapeutic immersion on an undeveloped stretch of Mexico's pristine Pacific Coast. This experience is designed to help you discover and restore the fundamental relationships that allow healing, vitality, and deep meaning to emerge naturally.
Held at the sanctuary of Playa Viva, the environment itself becomes part of the medicine. Guests will reside in a sustainably crafted eco-resort surrounded by natural beauty—where perfect temperature salt water, hatching sea turtles, and dolphins swimming by the breakfast table serve as immediate links back to the natural world.
