"I left with so many tools to help me going forward that I can share with others. I left with new friends who I love that are on a similar journey"
~Cathy, JP's mom
I learned how to quiet my mind and feel joy and love for my life again. This retreat was a life changer for me. Thank you so much for this special gift youve given me.

I went into this retreat broke, feeling worthless, helpless, and walking around like a zombie.
I came out of it exhilarated, happy, full of life, as if somebody cracked my heart open and let in everything that was positive.
I met wonderful women that I instantly had a connection with. The one thing that I will always carry with me is the love from each and every one of these women and my love for them. We walked in as strangers and came out sisters.
~A.D.
Strangers came in broken and came out with a profound sense of hope.
It is only through kindness and patience that we can make the world a better place to exist. This weekend experience was life changing.
We all need healing.

...I have never encountered such a safe space with such beautiful souls - from the bottom of my heart, I can thank you ❤️
