Congratulations to the groups and individuals recognized by over 150 of their peers. Please hit the vote button to support your favorites. Click on the photos to learn more about each nominee. You will only be able to vote once for each category, so make your choices carefully. You may leave the voting link and return to finish voting at any time prior to September 30th. Everyone is invited to join the nominees who will be celebrated at a fantastically funky, formal musical gala on October 16, 2022, at the Joshua Tree Retreat Center Sanctuary. We’ll be throwing one heck of a party with live entertainment, art exhibits, and music from multiple artists. Space is limited, so get your tickets asap. The event will benefit the Boys & Girls Club of the Hi-Desert, the Joshua Tree National Park Association, and the Joshua Tree Retreat Center.

The Joshua Tree Retreat Center is the home of Edwin Dingle’s vision for The Institute of MentalPhysics, City of Joy, where his founding belief of inclusive yet autonomous paths to personal truth and wellness, is celebrated and honored. Booking a personal retreat with us is an act of gifting yourself with time and space to reflect, renew and recharge. Over the course of two days or more, you will be free to design your own experience, at your own pace. Personal retreats are ideal for guests looking for a quiet and serene environment to finish a work in progress or begin a new project or chapter in their journey.
