Ithaca Retreats

Words are not going to come close to explaining just how wonderful the week long Pathways to Connection retreat was. I have been drawn to do a plant medicine retreat for quite some time but after months of research, nothing felt right for me.
I was close to giving up altogether but thankfully the universe aligned and I came across Ithaca retreats and I am eternally grateful. From the very first Zoom call with Elvire and Jarrod and throughout all the planning, everything felt exactly right. I was travelling from the other side of the world and so a little apprehensive when the retreat was approaching but the warmth and support I received in abundance made it easy.
The week far exceeded any expectation I had and was a truly magical experience. It’s hard to believe this was their first retreat together as everything was perfect and it feels like they have been doing this forever. The ceremonies were conducted with such care and all the integration aspects around it were really well thought out (breathwork, yoga, meditation, music etc). Elvire and Jarrod both have such beautiful voices and I need those songs in my life!
The venue is divine and it really made you feel at home (thank you Sander and Varsh) and their animals are adorable.
The meals were exceptional and the epitome of soul food. It was truly nourishing.
The group was also perfect, such beautiful souls who I feel like I’d known forever.
I cannot fault a single thing, aside from having to leave which was really sad.
I’m overflowing with gratitude and will definitely return for another one (if they will have me!!)
Thank you 🙏
