Reviews

  • "That was definitely the most life altering experience I’ve had in decades."

    Ann

  • "It's hard to convey how special it was - and how supported I felt - and how magical and genuine every little thing was about it. How did you so neatly package it up into one week and include such a variety of sights, sounds, feelings, memories, tastes?!”

    Kim

  • “I have been on other retreats before, but this one far exceeded the others. The beauty of the location, the planned and unplanned activities, the food, the wine....and most of all the group. One thing that stands out for me is that I felt a sense of peace and ease throughout the entire retreat. I never felt pressure or rushed to do something or be somewhere. I loved that we had plenty of time to reflect on our own, but also to connect with others in the group. The yoga and meditation each morning was perfectly paced, and the afternoon group sessions were profoundly insightful and healing for me. You did an incredible job of managing all of the unforeseen challenges, and the ease and grace with which you did it definitely set the tone for the retreat.”

  • “My room accommodations and my roommate were outstanding!… Just beautiful settings no matter where we were on the property….Loved not only the physical yoga in the mornings but our afternoon meditation groups/breakout sessions. So helpful, insightful, and educational for me. So wonderful to be able to reach deep within ... with your assistance! And to get my "I Am Limitless" medallion really touched my heart because...you took the time to get to know me for the person I am. …I think, most importantly, the greatest thing I will take away from this retreat is feeling so blessed and lucky to have made so many new friends! Beautiful individuals inside and out who have the same mindset as I...to live, love, and enjoy life as much as possible. …THANK YOU for one of the most amazing trips I've taken! Thanks to you, it was such a great success on every level.”

  • "You really created safe and sacred space in which we could become vulnerable, Jennie. It’s hard to live very daringly without getting vulnerable."
