An amazing exploration of creativity and authenticity

Lu and Nora's art therapy retreat was perfect for supporting and deepening my spiritual journey. Through an exploration of creativity and vulnerability, I was able to better connect with my authenticity. The activities and schedule were perfectly tailored and adapted, so our time together felt meaningful, organic and productive. I could not have hoped for more, thank you :)
