“This trip was amazing. I appreciate how organized every detail was, so that I felt taken care of and fully able to relax and focus on myself. I was also really impressed with the quality of the location, food, and how thoughtfully you planned each day. The balance of free time and organized time was perfect, and I most appreciated knowing that I could choose to not attend something without judgment. Each session allowed me to learn about or reflect on some aspect of myself that I don't usually have the time to deeply ponder. I had never experienced the somatic work that Ruth introduced us to and really enjoyed her walking us through the exercises of identifying emotions in our bodies and learning to engage with and move that energy through ourselves. You are a gifted yoga teacher and your classes not only left my body feeling good, but also brought me back to an appreciation of my body exactly as it is. I love that we had an active class in the morning and a restorative class in the evening.
I think the most impactful thing about the retreat was something that can never be forced or scheduled. The openness and vulnerability of each woman there was so inspiring; I've never experienced anything like that before and feel truly blessed to have been a part of it. You have a gift at bringing people together and creating a space where magical connections can happen authentically. Wherever life takes you, I hope that you keep hosting these events. I will never run out of the need to pause, reflect, and connect with others. You can count me in whenever I can.”
