Caro Arévalo

Caro Arévalo is a Peruvian visual artist based in Kingston, NY. Her work resides in the visual embodiment of the “unveiled” in the various journeys throughout her psyche, all the cells that conform our inner bodies and its connection to the outer worlds.
From her Amazonian heritage Caro embraces the importance of rituals and ancestral wisdom, of embracing our unity with nature in our daily lives. Through her paintings and videos Caro invites us to focus on our daily routines, the importance of rest, to take care of ourselves and our planet in order to stay creative, curious and aligned with our purpose in the world.

“A soul-nourishing gem. A place to dream about long after you’ve left.”

“I had the most amazing massage I’ve ever had in my life, and I’ve been to spas all around the world. Menla is blessed with truly remarkable practitioners.”

Carla B.

I just returned from an over-night stay at the Menia Retreat Center. During that time, I was very fortunate to have had four services at the beautiful Dewa Spa.All of them were amazing, but I really have to take a few minutes to write about Sarite Sanders who did Craniosacral Therapy and Nicole Bernhardt who provided Extended KuNye Massage.

Both of these women are gifted practitioners who clearly are dedicated to their healing modalities. Sarite is not just a healer but a teacher–a very powerful combination for a true wellness practitioner. She even suggested movement exercises that I could do at home to help with an old injury–one I had not told her about, but that she “felt” as she worked on my body. Both of these women took time to explain what and why they were doing certain things and thus were able to create a very safe environment for healing. Thank you for a truly lovely experience.
