“This was the first wellness retreat I attended. I liked the balance of free time and activities, allowing me time to explore the grounds in thought and reflection on what the instructors shared with us as well as my own thoughts. The setting was absolutely magical. It was really nice getting to know the attendees a bit. …My practice was deepened just by signing up. At the retreat I was challenged and felt ‘accomplished’ at the end of each session. The first indoor ohm I heard since the pandemic was very moving… From a non-vegetarian perspective, the food was great. I haven’t eaten meat since.” ~ J.V.
