“I did not realize how much I needed to nourish my soul until I was at the retreat with the incredible women there! I LOVED it.

We ALL needed it so much. Not to escape real life but to be reminded that every single day is such a gift. And we can and will set an intention for each day.”

~Mitra A

“Thank you for a wonderful retreat. It truly has been life changing for me.

I have been dabbling in mindfulness but now feel ready to dive deeper. I felt such warmth and support from all.”
