WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Leah Stark
These retreats have been so transformative for me.
For both my knowledge and experiences, as well as my personal growth because I have forged amazing relationships in this community.
We are all coming together as goal-oriented humans with a desire to see each other grow.
Rob Regner
I attended the last one. It was a mindset game-changing experience for me. I wish I would have attended the first one knowing what I know now! Highly recommend.
Heather Collard
In Mexico, I danced for the first time in 8 years. I had so much fun. I remember saying, “I haven’t danced like this since I drank.” I felt so free and whole. I love dancing and forgot how much I miss it!
And my beautiful friend said to me, “I don’t think I’ve ever seen a smile so big on your face.”
I went to Mexico to study a day trading strategy that is changing my life. Being able to read the charts and understand is powerful - I got exactly what I came for in that regard but I left with the unexpected - more healing in my heart than I ever anticipated; yoga, sweat lodge, chakra balancing, walks, talks, great food, and amazing animals.
Thank you, Jenni Rose and Teresa Guthrie, and every single new friend I made. Cannot wait for our next retreat.
