"What People Are Saying"

I've never traveled this far on my own, and this retreat sounded like the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure. I made a commitment to myself this year to take better care of myself physically and mentally, and this was an amazing way to kick off the year!

Food! The amazing, gorgeous, delicious nourishing vegan food motivated me to stay with a plant based diet for clean eating, heath and cleansing.  And the gentle yoga and challenging yoga classes met my needs for movement to reconnect spiritually and to feel free

Sonya S.

I felt content and at peace having spent the week in nature and having time to myself, fulfilling my needs for rest and to be in nature. And my tummy is happy because I enjoyed 3 great vegan meals per day (made with love) meeting my needs for good , vital food
