About The CompanyGentle Adventures was founded by Toni Meriah Kruse, in 1992, to provide arts and wellness services for the people of Central Kentucky. Over the past 13 years, we have evolved and changed – as people and organizations always do if they stay around long enough! Today our programs include Gentle Adventure Retreats in 7 locations, Kentucky Local events in the dance, movement, and wellness arts, and Meriah’s private practice in therapeutic massage and the Feldenkrais Method. Gentle Adventure Retreats were born in 1999 out of Meriah’s desire to combine her expertise from the arts, wellness, and outdoor education fields, and a unique approach to travel -- primarily for women. The first 4 retreats were held in Maui, and an additional retreat location in South Carolina was added in 2002. In 2004, we hosted our first Mexico retreat – also the first retreat to which men were invited. It was great to have our men friends along! Also in 2004, we opened our first Kentucky location, with the idea of opening additional Kentucky locations in 2005 and 2006. We’re growing, and we’re having fun!
