Testimonials

The divine female energy! It is a once in a lifetime experience quality. Wow. I just love how many people came out with truly open hearts and how much connection happened while letting go of our personal stumbling blocks.

T.L., United States

I loved the various offerings and different presenters: yoga, inquiry, 3 rhythms/dancing, free time/sauna, forest bathing with explicit instructions that these were optional. The retreat had a nice flow. I particularly loved the diversity of the women and that I wasn't the oldest (for once!)! Suzanna and Nicole created a very safe and nurturing space right from the beginning.

Meridith, United States

The Retreat was a very enjoyable experience. I felt a deep sense of community with the other women, and felt nurtured and supported. I could talk to the others about anything, however personal. There was a connection I hope to be able to bring forth with individuals even outside of anything that Suzanna and Nicole pull together as a group. The venue was so relaxing and full of nature and healthy eats. And my bed was so cozy!

Davida, United States

I loved the camaraderie within the women's container and retreat. I felt safe and supported to be authentic with complete strangers. I loved the free time in between the gatherings to reflect, journal, walk, nap, etc. Balance is key for me so I enjoyed the balance of everything presented by Suzanna and Nicole. I Absolutely LOVED the venue. The food was delicious! My room was cozy, the bed was comfortable and being in nature was very healing!
