I felt whole heartedly witnessed, celebrated and affirmed. Through it I have been given permission to be my unique self and to express my creativity and sexuality in the world. This is profound work.” - Helen C

“Your retreat was a true retreat. I loved it. I really did. I loved the classes. I loved the philosophy. I loved the safety and I loved the company. I also really loved the nut roast on the Saturday night! I would come back in a heartbeat. I liked every class and loved that there were no egos, no expectations, just pure freedom and acceptance." - Frances H
