The Floating Stone Inn & Aqua SpaOctober 2011

Greetings!Linda Ellinor at the pools

 

Fall Greetings!!

 

With the passing of September our 

"Shake-Down Summer" at the Floating Stone is at an end.  I will always remember our 'locals" opening party back in July with it's Van 

Gogh-like starry night sky, our first aqua spa programs such as aqua aerobics, aqua zumba, and even aqua yoga; and lastly, our night-time potlucks, wine tasting, and even our first dinner show! All these events and activities brought new friends and fun to the Floating Stone.  

 

I and my staff thank you for your participation and feedback. We depend on all of you to help us grow and fine tune our offerings. 

 

October will see us transition to a winter/fall schedule of operation. We will be placing more emphasis on attracting guests to our unique, in town, historic lodging. Our on-site guests staying in Casita Linda and the Poston Inn Rooms as well as our off-site Casita guests will shortly be offered healthy breakfasts and complimentary wine in the early evenings around our outside patio or in our adjacent sun porch.   Make your reservations soon to assure availability during our high season months by calling 520-398-3193 or visit our website at www.thefloatingstoneinn.com. You can also visit us on Facebook at facebook.com/FloatingStoneInn.  

 

During this period, our aqua spa will be available primarily to our overnight guests and those day-spa guests having massage and aqua massage services. We will honor punch card day passes that were sold during the summer months, but will be phasing these out as they were. Depending on availability of volunteers, we will be announcing "local's hours" for day-spa use.  Look for this on our web-site.  And, be sure to call ahead if you plan to use the aqua spa as our office hours may not be as they were over the summer months.  

 

We're still adding to our menu of spa services by bringing on more alternative healthcare practitioners. Please contact us if you have services you would like to offer.   

 

We are also gearing up to serve our guests planning special events such as private anniversary parties, family reunions, weddings, workshops, or meetings.  We are making connections with private caterers, entertainers, and party planners in the area.  Let us know if you or others you may know offer such services.  Likewise, let us know if we can help you with a special event.  

  

Rocky and I will be attending and exhibiting at  an "Alkaline Water" Conference October 21st and 23rd called "Bushido" in Phoenix  www.breakthruevents.com. We have decided to announce new dates for our Alkaline Living Workshop at this conference and will have this up on our web-site shortly.  

 

Lastly, as our hours may be shortened beginning October through the end of December, if you have signed up for our free 30-day alkaline water trial, be sure to let us know when you want to stop by to pick up more water.  

 

I hope to see you all at the Floating Stone enjoying our facilities and programs.  By the way, we are sorry we had to attend todeck repairs over this first weekend of October and had to close down our pools.  We will open our pools again by October 4th.  Our aqua classes will resume at this time.  Sorry for the inconvenience.  The good news is as of today, October 6th, we have officially passed the ADEQ and County Health Department inspections.   

 

Sincerely,

 

Linda Ellinor
Owner of The Floating Stone Inn & Aqua Spa

Real People, Real Communication with Terry Hershey

Saturday, November 5th, 9am - 4pm

Come to a one-day retreat with inspirational speaker Terry Hershey on "Real People, Real Communication."  Each of us desires relationships that are healthy-with trust, compassion, laughter, honesty and touch.  And each of us moves away from the very things we desire. Here's the deal: Intimacy has little to do with the other person. Intimacy begins with me. What does it mean to be real, honest and authentic? What does it mean to practice real communication? Why are we afraid to be real? Terry teaches us-with very practical tools-about a life with real and open communication. . . built on a foundation of kindness, appreciation, sensitivity, and awareness.  To register call 1-800-524-5370 or go to Terry's website at: www.terryhershey.com.  $49, includes lunch.

The Art at the 
Floating Stone

October 22, 2011

Art & Music Event


Cesar Lopez, a self-taught Amado, AZ artist whose work ranges from paintings in oils to large scale sculpture
made from recycled scrap metal, will be featured in Floating Stone's October 22, 2011  Art & Music event.

The 7' x 4.5' oil painting will provide the backdrop for LATIF BOLAT, Turkish mystic. This stunning
painting is entitled ORION'S NEBULA. This piece was present at the book signing of Eugene "Geno" Cernan, the last astronaut to be on the Moon, December 11, 1972.  'Orion's Belt'  is a deep, inspiring painting -  it evokes a timelessness and intruige we all share when gazing into the wonder of our skies.  Please come and view its splendor for yourself.
