Testimonials

“My retreat surpassed all of my expectations. Now that I am back stateside, it is surreal to think about the experiences I shared with people who were strangers merely 2 weeks ago that I will now consider to be lifelong friends. This retreat attracted a crowd with amazing energy and created a safe space allowing folks to be vulnerable while weaving in humor and joy. It's a tough balance to strike but once achieved, it unlocked limitless potential which was felt by everybody. From the morning meditations and yoga sessions to sightseeing, everything was well thought out and executed to perfection. I could not recommend this enough and am already planning my next retreat!”

Scott, USA

“Wow - not only were the settings amazing, the participants incredible (!), and the culture fascinating, but I am now, and will always be, a follower of David Gandelman and Jordana Reim because of this experience! Jordana led us through amazing yoga on rooftops overlooking majestic mountains, powerful breathwork, and was there to counsel me on some big decisions. Both (Jordana and David) were there for the heart-opening breakthroughs that I had (on several occasions) and were supportive and encouraging in ways that felt perfect. This was a big spend for me but it was worth every penny. Everyone felt welcomed, included, seen, heard, and respected and dare I say left having their hearts cracked open and seeing shifts within. The group dynamic was profound, creating strong bonds and friendships between participants. If you're on the fence about doing a retreat with David or Jordana - stop wondering and sign up! You won't regret it.”

Wendy, USA

“I did not know what to expect as I have never done a retreat before, I can now say that it is an awe inspiring experience. There is a lot that happens - yoga, meditation, talks, joy, laughter, and a good dose of self reflection. The deep friendships we formed through these shared experiences has reminded me how much good there is in the world. Travelling expands your heart and soul... traveling with teachers like David and Jordana takes that expansion to the next level.”

Leila, Australia

“Expectations well exceeded! It was a perfect combination of the minute by minute surprise of a brand new country, yet well supported by the brilliant organisation and planning of the organisers. The combination of new people, yoga, meditation, and incredible scenery and the people and animals and plants...it is hard to describe just how good it is. Absolutely life changing and completely loved it.”

James, Australia

“This retreat was magical. I’m deeply grateful for every moment. I felt safe and supported as our group explored together. Connecting with the land, the wonderful people in our group and the many sacred spaces throughout the journey was life changing. Trekking, doing yoga, and meditating was an amazing adventure. It’s hard to properly express how much this trip has meant to me. I would highly recommend this retreat to all. Thank you so much.”

Melissa, USA

“The whole retreat experience is one that will stick with me for life. From beginning to end…Jordana made sure we were well taken care of and did a fantastic job covering all details big and small. The retreat turned into a way to reconnect with who we are and who we are meant to be in this world. This retreat was a godsend. (Jordana’s) fluid methods of “reading the room” and not necessarily sticking to a static unbendable plan, helped make the whole experience completely enjoyable. Jordana’s amazing methods of bringing mindfulness exercises and yoga to us in the most beautiful settings was a much needed salve for body and mind. There were a lot of breakthroughs that occurred on the trip for myself and others. We all experienced sensations of awe and aha moments. The group itself, was a unique set of Amazing humans - Personable, Fun and Caring. I cannot say enough good things about the entire experience. It was worth it 1000 times over…and created magic. I would encourage anyone and everyone to give any future trips a go.”

Liz, USA

“I thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of this adventure. I hope that what I have learned about people and myself will integrate into my being and make me a more grounded and insightful person. Going into this trip, I did not expect that I would come out of it with so many new friends across the world whom I care about. Thank you”
