Memorial Day Weekend ☆ May 23, 2025

"This experience was exactly what I needed to unplug, slow down, connect, relax and rejuvenate."

-MH

"Everything I was needing and didn’t know I needed I received from this retreat. It was inspiring, grounding, and magical. I felt so free to be all of me without any judgement." 

-JP

"It gave me space, time, and support to connect with myself in a way I had been needing for some time. The sisterhood I experienced was healing balm to my soul."

-AC 

"I felt super supported by the support staff. As a mother of three, I don’t get food cooked and served to me very often or massages. This was a treat!"

-MH

"I wouldn't have changed anything about the retreat."

-LP 

"During that weekend, I was dealing with some serious internal struggles, and going to the retreat gave me a place to let down and just be with my thoughts and emotions among kind and compassionate women."
-PBP 

"The retreat allowed me time to sit with my feelings and gave me a safe constructive space to be able to actually look within. Loved the experience and looking forward to the next one."
-AH

"You are a natural born leader, teacher, medicine warrior & fairy goddess. Your communications skills are so spot on, and your abilities to help people see their truth & open up to the universe are amazing.

I love sharing space in circle. Getting acquainted, sharing inner feelings, experiences, life's struggles, and the river of emotions that runs through each & every one of us. Circles calls to my heart & reminds me to be kind, honest, and fair. Always." 

-MY 

"All of the things! I learned so much. I came home inspired and refreshed."

-JP 

"Stretches, breathing, movement, nutrition. I also learned a lot about ceremonial practices."

-MH 

"My favorite practical techniques I learned were the benefits of breathing to the count of 4, NVC, and the morning yoga chair stretching routine."

-

"The information infused in the ever so gentle and foundational yoga was above and beyond what I've experienced. Katalyna, your knowledge is superb. I also deeply appreciate the physical mirroring of awareness and redirecting a distracted energy."

-JLT

"I came home with a deeper understanding of a part of myself I have been struggling with for a long time. I came home with more compassion for myself and my family ... I feel so much more peace."

-Anon 

"The retreat enriched my life in many ways, one of which was encouraging me to step outside of my comfort zone with a willing heart to connect with people I haven't met, and to move further into a space of ritual that I've longed for. I knew that this would be a great place for me to do so, considering the host, and I was not wrong."

-JLT 

"I learned lots of techniques, and it's now just the process of actually incorporating them into my daily life. Nutrition and communication are two of the bigger ones I want to bring home with me." 

-AH 

"I love practicing yoga lessons with you! How you explain the movements & how those movements  benefit one's body is very educational & enlightening. I enjoyed the 20 minute chair yoga you offered at the retreat. I felt stimulation and relaxation at the same time. For me, yoga brings clarity and balance."

-MY 

"I thoroughly enjoyed my massage! It was wonderful. I also loved how the massage tent was down by the water. It was like walking to this hidden sanctuary. Marie did an amazing job! I felt so relaxed."

-MH

"It was the best. I wanted more it was so good!"

-JP

"The massage was such a nice way to disconnect from everything and really reconnect with myself ... Marie was amazing at treating the areas that I was holding stress ... A lot of the areas I thought I was carrying my tension wasn't actually where I had stored it. Was super relaxing and just nice to enjoy the quiet."

-AH 

"The massage was epic, Marie is a very intuitive masseuse."

-AC 

"My massage was first rate; I enjoyed it so much."
-EY

"My massage was not acquired until a couple weeks later, and it was amazing. The fact that I was able to be accommodated (...) and still get my massage was beyond awesome.

And as far as the sound bath, Katalyna, you are one of the most amazing sound bath / sound healer / sound facilitators ... I feel like there's 10,000 magical little fair dancing around my head with bells and chimes."

-JLT 

"Yes! As always I love your sound baths!"

-JP

"The guided meditation was awesome." 

-AH 

"The meals were one of my favorite parts of this retreat! They were AMAZING! I was worried beforehand but there was always plenty of food and healthy snacks available. The food was so intensely flavorful! I couldn't believe it. The butternut soup was incredible. I asked Lindsay for the recipe! My body felt great! I also enjoyed the oxymel shots. I was new to these and I really liked both that were given. The smoothies and homemade chocolates were so delicious. Everything. So good and nutritious!" 

-MH 

"The food was lovely! My digestion was better than usual, by far. I really enjoyed the intentional silence during one meal."

-PM

"Best food ever! It inspired me to start feeding my family more nourishing meals. I felt really good with the food. My body was very happy. My digestion was great." 

-JP

"The food was delicious and felt great in my stomach. It was also nice not to cook. It felt like a real vacation."

-LP 

"The food was off the charts amazing hands-down, some of the best food I've ever had in my life! I really felt deeply nourished by it, as well as at any point I could refer to you, Katalyna for the informational basis that goes behind all of the nutrition." 

-JLT 

"The food was AMAZING, it felt so good and filling to eat. I felt full and satisfied. I even came home and tried to remake the soup. My body struggled to regulate while I was there, but I felt awesome. "

-AH 

"The food was fabulous and I wouldn't have changed anything about it."

-EY 

"Each and every meal you prepared was delicious, nutritious and presented with great care & thought. My body received, digested and eliminated with ease & comfort. The portions served were perfect. I was very satisfied and never wanted more. A couple of times I snacked on the figs & nuts because they were there & so irresistible. So yummy! Coffee & morning smoothies were also very wonderful & satisfying." 

-MY 

"I LOVED building the medicine wheel. I loved that we all gathered itemas individually and quietly and then created together. It is so magical building these with other people. How it all comes together in the end. This was my favorite group activity."

-MH

"I loved the medicine wheel. I loved working with the nature finding magical treasures. I love doing that anyways so finding a way that I can collect and create something beautiful felt very good. I brought it home to my family now we make medicine wheels in nature. " 

-JP 

"I loved there were little areas that we could explore on our own time. The creative area that had paint and coloring. It was super fun to relax and paint with others. Everyone painting together but doing their own (on wood, rocks, paper..) Also, I loved the opening and closing circles."

-MH 

"I very much enjoyed gathering the items for the medicine wheel." 

-PBP  

"It went so perfect, and I am so fulfilled with exactly how it went. I loved the night dancing. That was one of my favorite parts. All the glowing, flowing things, music, and the fire I felt something awaken within me."

-JP

"I truly loved the medicine wheel. I thought it was a beautiful group activity. It was amazing to watch happen, and I enjoyed participating in it. I was also able to learn how to identify Mullein via the medicine wheel and now it's popping up everywhere I go and now is an herbal guide. I love it."

-JLT

"Building the medicine wheel was fun and definitely made me stop and observe things a little more. It was amazingly beautiful to watch the whole thing unfold and gave me a different perspective to take while out in nature.  Also had fun getting the kids to make one at home." 

-AH 

"I loved, loved, loved creating the medicine wheel. Every step from your beginning blessings to the end when we joined hands. It was powerful medicine, and that too brought so many emotions to life. Balance. Oneness."

-MY 

"The medicine wheel was one of my favorite activities. I enjoyed learning about the process and creating magic with all the wonderful women. It felt especially nice to enjoy the flow of each person flitting back and forth and seeing what were each called to choose and bring to the circle."

-AC 

"I would 100% recommend all of your services, facilities, and skills."

- JLT 

"YES! We don't get a lot of time to connect with other women and this was an incredible way to do that. Women of all walks of life were at this retreat and they all felt like family by the end. I truly believe women need to come together in circles more often."

-MH 

"ABSOLUTELY YES!  Because of how nourishing it was for my soul. Everything I was needing and didn’t know I needed I recieved from this retreat. It was inspiring, Grounding, and Magical. I felt so free to be all of me without any judgement."

-JP

"Absolutely. It was wonderful! That retreat could’ve lasted three weeks and you still would’ve had more things to teach us! It was an honor to be there."

-PBP

"I attended a wellness retreat ... it was magical! If you're ready to move forward in life, learn self care and not sure where to start, this is an excellent Yoga/overall wellness/healing retreat."

-LP 

"The attentiveness and intention of the wellness retreat was an overall encompassing energy. All of the activities, the food, the space, and also the interpersonal relations that are often tested when gathering different dynamics, were magically facilitated in a way that enabled, learning, growth and connectivity."

-JLT

"You did amazing! You gave so much support, I felt very supported, and it flowed beautifully."
