Changed my life
This was the first retreat I have ever attended (never the less alone), I definitely dove way out of my comfort zone. However when I arrived, I instantly formed deep connections with all who were attending along with the gracious hosts’ Frankie, Frank & David. It was a blessing to feel so comfortable and right at home. Their incredibly meaningful program continued to surprise me with love and true growth each and everyday! I can honestly say, I came out a better woman from this experience. I feel so much gratitude to have not only connected with these amazing healers & attendees but to furthermore bond on a deeper level and form the most beautiful soul tribe! The work is not always easy to heal from but this initial step & program can do wonders for your mind, body & soul. I left this retreat filling my heart with immense love & acceptance while shedding so much weight off my shoulders. I view the world & my struggles differently and I Have Franky, David & Frank to thank for that! They really do take care of you in all the ways possible. The food by Woody was absolutely insanely yummy and nourishing as well! Do not gratitude to go, you will not regret it!
