“I was going through a dark night of the soul the year I attended the retreat and it held me through this transformation. It was the perfect container to do my own work, while delighting in the witnessing of the other women’s transformations around me. Through the retreat, I was able to de-armour, process and connect to the divine and this experience was so illuminating that I am unsure how to even articulate the words. The days were dreamy and beautifully paced and for the first time, I was able to really unplug, relax and reset my nervous system. The week after the retreat, I had the honour of getting visited by a member of my star family in a waking vision post retreat. I am honoured to be initiated into such a beautiful sisterhood and will carry these memories with me my whole life.” — Johanne
“The absolute held, potency of the a container that was unbroken for the entire duration of the week makes my Scorpio self just salivate. I crave depth and intensity and may I just say, this retreat delivered. My cup always felt full. This experience felt ineffable. There is a power present in a group setting like this that amplifies intentions and the capacity to move energy. I feel the gratitude pouring through. I have been in other containers and have experience with other “feminine leaders” and although this is not meant to be the comparison game….. I do want to say that the quality of mentorship and guidance was not ordinary. Please know that I am deeply honoured to have been a part of this sacred work. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you”— Bernadett
