From Annalisa~
“Our Mother-Child retreat was so special- my 5 year-old son and I laughed, danced, participated in child-friendly yoga and made flower crowns, which was so special…apart from our one-on-one time together, I truly enjoyed the guided meditation! We can’t wait to return!”
From Chima~
“Altogether, a most joyous event where I was able to connect to self and reconnect with some wonderful mamas. The locale, women gathered, and overall environment contributed to a feeling of peace, wellbeing, and community. I was able to let go and just be. And I felt supported by some lovely mamas. I’m grateful for the experience. Thank you, thank you!”
