Testimonials from past retreats:
“Change yourself, and you have done your part in changing the world.” – Paramhansa Yogananda. I am embarrassed to say that I was afraid to visit this retreat that my best friend booked for us. I had no idea what to expect. But the list could go on and on from what I not only learned about other practices, but also what I learned about myself. I was able to resonate with feelings that I tried to push deep down, or thought were invalid. Visiting this retreat helped me find peace, self-love, and appreciation! Allison & Paisley are amazing at helping you feel so comfortable even when you’re uncomfortable.” — Nikki
“I cannot say enough about this retreat! I went in a little nervous about what it might entail, and was worried that I may not be able to take it seriously or really allow myself to open up, but the hosts made the entire experience comfortable. I was so inspired by how much the other women opened up that I couldn’t help myself! The breath work & Ayurveda workshops were so interesting, and I got to check cold plunge off my bucket list! I am planning on coming back! If you are on the fence about a retreat or trying to become more in tune with yourself, look no further!” — Jen W.
“I didn’t really know what to expect, but I had an amazing weekend! I learned a lot and met some beautiful women. I feel like the retreat opened my heart and set something free in me – which was exactly what I needed. Paisley and Allison are wonderful teachers!” — Participant
“This is a wonderful experience to integrate yourself with other women and nature. Self-reflection and introspection are key for this retreat; allow yourself to get connected and feel the emotions of being in such a powerful environment. I just loved it!” — Participant
“Allison and Paisley proved to be exceptional hosts, showing compassion and understanding towards my needs. I was looking for some time off to reflect and unwind. I left feeling rejuvenated and energized. Thanks to this experience, I was able to identify a set of intentions and plans to improve and embrace my emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. It was exactly what I needed! Thank you!” — Molly
“I wasn’t sure what to expect because I had never been to any retreats before. Paisley and Allison created a really warm, inviting, and safe space where I felt comfortable enough to be genuinely myself and share with others. The programming was thoughtful and well structured with enough time to get to know people.” — Mioara
“Paisley and Allison are incredibly welcoming hosts, and they put in so much work to ensure that their retreat participants have a great experience. The retreat is a safe space to learn more about yourself by turning inward, and it’s an opportunity to learn new information and discover habits that you can integrate into your daily life beyond the retreat. My life has been positively impacted by attending, and I’m so grateful to now have the ability to be a better person, not only for myself, but also those around me, by practicing the lessons learned. Take the time for yourself (you deserve it!) and grow with the help of Paisley and Allison!” — Linden
“Allison and Paisley were welcoming and knowledgeable hosts! I arrived around strangers and left with a feeling of sisterhood. They are great at connecting others and offering moments of growth and healing.” — Participant
“If you are thinking about attending this retreat – PLAN TO GO NOW! I was blown away by the level of organization, the diverse activities, and the classes/ workshops. Allison and Paisley are delightful and welcoming. The setting and house were the perfect backdrop, and the sauna and cold plunge was such a cool experience. Plus, the amount of fun and camaraderie were off the charts! Much more than worth the time/ expense!” — Erin
“This retreat was wonderful! I felt safe, loved, and genuinely restored! The openness and energy of the group was something I’ve been craving deeply. Thank you so much for this experience!” — Participant
“Allison and Paisley are gracious hosts. This was my second Women’s Retreat with them, and the weekend exceeded my expectations. The schedule was paced perfectly with plenty of opportunities to socialize with the other women. Allison and Paisley are knowledgeable and caring… yoga sessions were so calming and relaxed my body and mind. Primal Shakti Flow with Paisley challenged me to move my body freely… I couldn’t stop smiling all weekend. I will definitely be back for a third retreat soon!” — Kara P.
“I arrived at the women’s retreat wound tighter than a spring, riddled with stress, doing everything I could to suppress my emotions, and yet wondering why I’d lost the joy in my life. I found wonderful teachers, beautiful new friends, safety, vulnerability, and empowerment. I left with a renewed commitment to self-care and a toolbox full of ways to slow down, take a breath, and not let the world harden me. I hope to attend another women’s retreat soon! Highly recommend!” — Participant
“Please don’t be hesitant – just sign up! I promise you, this retreat can and will change your life. I will be attending again.” — Laura
“I enjoyed this retreat. I was able to experience a sampling of things that I was not familiar with, and I came away with a much more relaxed body and a couple of new habits. I also discovered some new ideas that I want to explore further. This retreat was just right for me to slow down my brain and get comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you’re feeling a bit stuck or stagnant, this might be a really great choice for you, too.” — Michelle
“I had an incredibly transformative experience at this retreat. Allison and Paisley create an amazing team, and together they guided us towards new ways of living, breathing, and thinking. I felt very safe and secure, emotionally and physically, the whole time. They held a space were we, as women, could embrace one another fully and be connected on a level that I will cherish forever. I would recommend this retreat to anyone, any age. It helped to propel me onto the path that I was destined to walk upon. My gratefulness toward these two wonderful souls will never cease. Peace and love.” — Participant
“Truly life changing! The amount of effort the facilitators put into their practice far exceeded any expectations I could have had. I felt safe to explore new things and be myself for an entire weekend. The atmosphere, the views, the noises, the yin and the yang were so entirely beautiful. I can’t wait to return, and soak in more peace and keep learning their art. Leave your shoes and expectations at the door. Bring your empty cups; these people will teach you how to fill them.” — Participant
