Romance and Relaxation February 12, 2010

Romance and relaxation are the topics of a special evening tour and meditation class at the James J. Hill House. During the tour, learn about the long marriage of James J. and Mary T. Hill, hear stories of the four family weddings held in the house, and listen to excerpts of letters and oral histories of servants discussing their romantic adventures.

After the tour, gather in the Drawing Room where life coach Beth Freschi will lead an hour-long class focusing on the Loving Kindness Meditation and other relaxation techniques that calm the mind and body. The class will begin with deep breathing, followed by a muscle relaxation exercise, guided imagery and two different loving kindness meditations. Practicing relaxation techniques with a loved one can be a wonderful bonding experience, and singles are also welcome to come and experience an expanded view of love and Valentine's Day.

Refreshments will be served, and each guest will receive a relaxation gift donated by the Salon For You Salon and Spa.

Call 651-297-2555 for reservations.

All proceeds go to the Minnesota Historical Society.
