"I have been working with Robyn, Darcy and the Star River team since 2018. They offer impeccable guidance and are delightful human beings. With their generosity, experiential wealth and wisdom they provide an inspiring and deeply nourishing soulful experiential container. I am truly grateful for all that I have learned from them and for the beautiful star river family community that is growing year by year. "

"Robin and Darcy are masters of the shamanic arts. I hold the utmost respect and gratitude for their dedication to spiritual healing and advancement of this world in the golden age of enlightenment we are entering. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you"

Steve November, 2024

"This experience was a priceless life changing event; in a good way. It allowed me to resolve issues of trauma that were inhibiting the full expression of my authentic self. Robin brought in the full expression of divine femininity, providing a warm and loving atmosphere of acceptance and care. This allowed me the freedom to evaluate my present life circumstance, make peace with any discord, and to confirm my future course of action. I am forever grateful to Robin and Darcy for facilitating a most profound experience. Steven Clement ~Be well~"

"Star River supports one’s journey of the heart path. A path of gratitude, service, and Love. I felt fully supported to venture deep into my own healing, and am empowered to live and share the gifts. There is a precision, impeccability and genuine love that shines from those at Star River during one’s stay with this crew. You will not want to miss an experience offered by the team at Star River. "

Steve November, 2024

"My retreat experience was most rewarding. It allowed me to enter a safe, accepting, and loving space to unfold my past life experiences, to, sort out the details, release everything that is no longer essential for my future evolution, and impart a mind-set of confidence, knowing who and what my place is in the world. For me this experience was more like work than play, with some degree of discomfort. However the end result was satisfaction and elation like one feels after a job well done. I am most grateful to Darcy and Robin for their leadership facilitating this life changing experience and I look forward to working with them again in the future. Steven Clement ~Be well~"

Guided by skilled and compassionate facilitators, I was able to explore deep parts of myself, heal emotional wounds, and gain clarity I never thought possible. The care and support from the staff throughout the entire journey made me feel completely safe and nurtured. This retreat is a sacred space for true healing—physically, mentally, and spiritually.

"This was easily a top 5 experience of a lifetime, the skillful, compassionate facilitation was a healing bonaza. I wish everyone could experience what these two humans are doing to contribute to the beauty of humanity. Could be they are the best kept secret as our group was 7 with room for more. This only added to the intimacy and connection throughout the journey. "

"My experience was everything I had hoped for plus so much more. I was cradled in kindness and generosity by absolutely everyone at the Sentinel. The magnificence and power of the location's natural beauty is almost overwhelming and the accommodations are lovely, comfortable, and clean... and those views from my room! Unforgettable. All my meals were super fresh and delicious. The bodywork practitioners I experienced were outstanding. My Ceremonies were magnificent and life-changing. Stratospheric. I can hardly wait to return.... E.S. Toronto"

"I had such an amazing time staying here! The entire staff is absolutely incredible. The entire place is magical! I really enjoyed all of the delicious food, the hot tub overlooking the mountains& lake, the sauna, and the cold plunge to ground myself. I will definitely be staying here many more times! "

Saima October, 2024

"Everyone at The Sentinel makes it everything it is: one of the safest places on the planet for me to be myself and allow myself to be taken care of. Richard and Gillian and their team are thinking through every detail. The food is very nourishing and delicious with fresh ingredients, the space is complete with easy access to the cleanest and purest lake, hot tub and cold plunge with gorgeous mountain and lake views, a dry sauna… the treatment spaces are so beautiful, comforting and sacred. Every area on the property is designed to be the perfect place to stop everything and bring my attention inward. I spent time in a hammock for hours without a book or phone- just suspended there between the trees, allowing myself to be held up. I loved my truly transformative experience and I can’t wait to take my husband. "

Janelle October, 2024

"I just participated in the Women Listening Women 7 day retreat at the Sentinel.. My life is altered forever in the best way possible. The love, care and transformation that I went through in just 7 days with the most loving group of women was mind blowing. "
