Kimberly says, "I arrived with so much confusion in my mind, and uncertain of my marriage, as well as dealing with grief from losing my father. I was nervous upon arrival, never having been to something like this, but I knew it was because I was going to experience "something" and boy, did I ever! The facility is beautiful, the food was unforgettable (sincerely) and the guests become like family." See more

It became a significant part of my experience in addition to listening to the bands from which earnest singing and music flowed! My only criticism was there was only one "official" lodge restroom for an expectant 100 attendees." See more

Julian says, "The Haven is beautifully set on the waterfront on Gabriola Island. I wasn't sure what to expect at this workshop. I was hoping I would find more confidence in using my voice as I have been confident in speaking in public but deathly afraid of singing in public! What I found was a very safe space to explore making all kinds of sound from humming and babble to overtone chanting and yes." See more
