Retreat Feedback
Gillian
I found this retreat so well-balanced. Such a nourishing combination of mindfulness and meditation practices and activities set in beautiful locations shared with a fabulous group of women. Thank you Michelle for organising this retreat. Full of so many wonderful experiences and yet allowing for enough downtime to integrate it all. I loved it all from meditation to creativity to exploring what the local areas had to offer and everything in between. It truly was a magical experience, and I would certainly recommend it. Loved the goody bags!

Thank you Michelle, for this fabulous retreat. It was so well organised and the content was varied and nourishing on all levels. Your choice of other mind body practitioners to join you was also fantastic. I made a special trip from NZ to join you, and it was so very worth the effort. Lots of valuable information to take away and re-visit.

This is absolutely the best retreat I have ever done. There was an excellent mix of activities and I enjoyed them all. Everything was well organised and there was such an atmosphere of friendship, support and fun. I would do it again. Thank you so much, Michelle.
