"This was truly one of the most meaningful and beneficial retreats I've been on. I was so impressed by the immense thoughtfulness and obvious intention behind every detail of this retreat. Even the time management was flawless, with one activity building on the next in a non-obvious way, but important as far as the flow of depth and play and lightness. You are special people that truly make this world a better and more beautiful place. I am grateful to have shared this time with you and appreciate so much all the time and care you took to make it truly wonderful!"

"With the giving nature of teachers, I found this retreat was just what I needed. With the stress level of teachers on the rise, mindfulness practice will help them find peace. I would recommend this retreat whole-heartedly, and there is also scientific data that show it works."
