The journey to wellness is paved with many converging pathways of discovery, self-realization, reflection, self-care, emotional and spiritual awakenings, physical challenges, healing and more. We seek inspiration, guidance, motivation. We stumble, sometimes fall, give up, try again. When challenges seem insurmountable or when we humbly concede that it is time to unplug and reboot, we seek new directions, guidance, and support. Baby steps or giant leaps, CIVANA Wellness Resort & Spa offers a way forward on your journey, a time and place to center, discover your inner and outer strengths, face challenges, grow and embrace your potential and possibilities. And find JOY and FUN in the process!
Imagine a desert oasis of serenity and beauty, blooming with an abundance of humanity and encouragement, and an actual menu of those converging pathways paved with options and activities to proceed on your personal journey to wellness. From the moment you arrive, your encounters reveal a helpful and committed staff dedicated to the mission and spirit of CIVANA, the vision of founders Marc Skalla and Adam Ross.
