What other have to say
​
''Wow, I am not sure where to start. Having attended the same retreat last year, I thought I knew what to expect.
The energy from this amazing group of women was stronger than I have ever experienced, and the expert guidance you provided helped me to reconnect with myself in a way that I never thought possible. The daily meditation sessions, yoga, breathwork and the meals created by the extremely talented HVC left me feeling rejuvenated and energized.
I also loved the opportunity to connect with like-minded women who were all on their own personal journeys of self-discovery.
This retreat exceeded my expectations and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to reconnect with themselves on a deeper level.''
