Testimonials

  • "I really enjoyed the whole group experience. The attendees and instructors are special people, which gives me a chance to make wonderful new friends who are drawn to self-improvement and who often become my lifelong community of close friends and leaders to later work with. There is always such a nice exposure to new ideas. Yoga, meditation and the discussions of important topics with group input and collective learning. It is always such an enriching experience. I especially enjoyed the musical aspects that are sweetly woven into the retreat. Just Go! It’s something you just have to do for yourself!!!
