Find Authentic Retreats in Illinois

"My time in Bali with Judit was beyond words. Her gentle guidance and perfectly tailored yoga sessions in the serene beauty of eastern Bali helped me heal and reconnect on a profound level. Judit's expertise, kindness, and authenticity created an atmosphere of renewal and awakening. I highly recommend her retreats for anyone seeking spiritual growth and rejuvenation. I especially appreciated the thoughtful little touches and extras. A lot of care, love and prayers were put into curating the Awaken in Bali retreat; those elements were felt in all aspects of the retreat. "

"I absolutely loved my yoga trip with Drishti Journeys - I had the joy of being in Sayulita Mexico with Anna Maria 9 a dear friend who led the yoga sessions). I dove into each planned activity and was rewarded by inner growth and how I view the world, I gained a new amazing community of people who are also doing the same work, and was blessed with this container created by the trip facilitators - Reinier in particular. Everything that was planned and executed for this retreat was intentional and heartfelt. I was able to experience the culture and local land and food, as well as have the space to explore what I needed to work on with my own yoga and mindfulness practice. I was impressed by the hardworking and caring people who led this trip and made it so rich and rewarding for the whole group. <3"

"The Sayulita retreat was an amazing experience that far exceeded my expectations. The workshop leaders, the cultural representatives introducing local culture, and meditation and yoga instuctors were all so inviting and fun. They introduced us to the culture of Mexico by allowing us to participate in an indigenious Cacao Ceremony. They created a safe space for self-discover that allowed me to push past my habitual boundaries, both emotionally and physically, through regular group work sessions, guided meditations, an ice bath workshop and daily liberating yoga sessions. This may sound like a lot for a 5 days, and it was! But what made it so amazing was the group of people Reinier assembled to guide us on the journey and allowed the group of retreaters to bond into what felt like a supportive family. I am very thankful to all the fun, loving, accepting and caring people i got to know on this all-too-brief retreat."

"After more than 15 years of yoga practice, under wonderful yoga teachers, what can i say about Anna-Maria? I had the privilege to take Anna's yoga class for 6 months at a local studio before she moved away. So, I probably attended around 2 dozen of her yoga classes. not many, right? Anna’s class approach transformed my yoga practice, I did wheel posture after having given up on wheel for years. I cannot quite put my finger on why her teaching gifts are so powerful. Her teaching style was very good, the set and setting of the studio was also very good. But I have been given these gifts from other teachers many times over the lifetime of my practice. Maybe Anna's teaching power comes from her truly authentic, present, and unguarded approach to all humans. The good the bad the ugly and the loving, all of it. Now that I think about it, her authenticity, especially in this world, is pretty stealth of her! When I heard Anna was the yoga and workshop instructor for a Sayulita retreat, I signed up. I thought "Sure I'll go do some yoga, get some sun and ocean". Boy did I get so much more than I bargained for, but in a good and healing way. Anna set the tone and held the space for that healing to happen for everyone at the retreat. Anna has a way of cracking open your heart before you have a chance to back away from the uncomfortable territory we avoid."

"When I booked this retreat, I had ideas of what it might have been like, yoga, group activities etc… Wow! Was it way more than that. The entire week had a great flow to it and the people chosen to run this thing couldn’t have been better! Great job everyone!!"

"Amazing people who truly care for your journey! Went above and beyond to make certain that your experience was truly authentic! It seems like they have figured out the perfect formula and are providing phenomenal retreats!"

"Amazing teacher and spiritual guide Judit is one of a kind! You will be blessed with her kindness and compassion on any retreat. "

"Judit went above and beyond to make every single minute of the retreat an unforgettable experience. Started her day with smile and finishing it with the same big smile. Making everyone feel included. She has such a big heart and kindness!!! I can’t be more happier with the entire experience. Yoga practice, meditation, sound healing and cacao ceremonies all of those were amazing!!! Thank you thousand times, Judit!!!"

"I went on the Sayulita Retreat with Leah Zaccaria and it was truly a great experience! Classes were great, accommodations and excursions were lovely, and our tour guide Lauren was super friendly and helpful. The booking process was also seamless. Highly recommend!"

"Well-organized retreat that far exceeded my expectations. Accommodations at Simple Patagonia Hotel were luxurious overlooking stunning fjord and mountains. All meals were included including delicious box lunches for our daytime activities. Yoga was all-levels and varied from yoga teacher Claudette who also participated In the activities. In addition we had two local guides and professional driver leaving us with nothing to worry about or needing to make any decisions in terms of logistics. Patagonia itself was beautiful with Torres del Paine National Park the crown jewel with majestic mountains and unusual wildlife like the elusive puma, soaring condors in the sky and surprising pink flamingo's and austral parakeets sightings. "

"I enjoyed the daily yoga before and after the outdoor activities on the itinerary. Claudette was flexible and added sessions where we had extra time. Those were most helpful for me, as they helped my body recover from today's hike so I could be prepared to do it again for tomorrow! I was grateful for the opportunity to get to know Claudette better when she joined us on the outings, and we incorporated the yoga mindset throughout the day! The yoga was a key part of making the trip special for me!"

"The itinerary was just what I was looking for! The guides were experienced and accommodated my fitness level, without making it feel like I was imposing on other group members' experience. I learned about the area - flora, fauna and history, while experiencing amazing mother nature. It was an amazing experience!!"

"We had a good experience at the retreat. The difficulty has to with the communication prior to the retreat. Yes Covid is a factor, but it presented a opportunity to demonstrate your communication skills and in my mind it could have way improved it. For example, every other month or so you could have put out a email letting us know where things are. I should not have to beg to find out how much I owe to complete the transaction."

"Claudette has the ability to calm down anyone and make them feel safe included and protected Her voice is perfect for her style of yoga and it’s simply amazing anyone can slow me down She provides modification and up levels for all abilities Breathe ~"

"It was my second yoga retreat of the year and I loved all the thoughtful planning that went into making this trip memorable! The best parts of the tour were the walking food tour Sunday, the Monday waterfalls:black sand beach tours, the sky lagoon day Thursday, and the final group dinner Friday (wow that food!) I also enjoyed having our home base at one hotel so we didn’t have to drag our stuff around with us through the week. Our hotel was nice and comfortable, and we met many like minded people as you tend to accumulate on such a trip. The things I was not a fan of: being on a bus for many hours a day, and a lack of ‘hiking’ which is what enticed me to sign up in the first place- we didn’t hike as a group at all! After Monday’s long bus day, my friend and I opted out of the bus tours on Weds and Fri because the itinerary was not compelling/varied enough to endure 16 more hours of sightseeing by bus! We preferred instead to explore the city at a leisurely pace (read: bars, food, spas!). We all wanted to see the northern lights, but I understand it would be harder to plan for that as it’s never guaranteed you will see them and the weather conditions change rapidly. In a perfect world, I would have enjoyed a night yoga class, followed by dinner and a bus to the country to see the lights on one of the evenings… instead we all kind of picked our own times to try and see the northern lights. I feel like this was such a large draw to go to Iceland, and hoped we could have better linked up to do that as a group! Also- we didn’t see diamond beach (which is just a bit farther than Vik) and that would have been really awesome. Iceland is just large enough that you have to make these choices and either ride a bus a ton or move hotels during your stay, so maybe 2 hotels would have been better? I loved it so much and am happy I got to check off most things I wanted to do and see!"

"She’s an accomplished yoga teacher and helped me to tune in to my chakras. I thoroughly enjoyed my practices with her on the Iceland retreat. She has fabulous energy and is always enthusiastic to explore and get to know her fellow humans. I will definitely travel again with Tina!"

"This was a great retreat. The facilities were above all expectations, the hostesses were very kind, and the impact of the retreat Rites were beyond intense. I will return if offered again. "

"I had the time of my life in Bali with Drishti Journeys in August of 2022. It was a long awaited trip first scheduled for May of 2020 and postponed several times due to COVID. It was so worth the wait!! It exceeded any and all of my expectations. The highlight of the trip was our stay at Subak Tabola Villas in Sidemen area. It was truly a bliss! The villa was gorgeous! The setting is so serene, filled with exotic plants, ponds and fountains. I loved being awaken by the birds and the running water early in the morning, opening the doors of the villa and taking in the views. The food was absolutely delicious. Onsite massages were amazing. The staff is so friendly and accommodating. I was so sad to say goodbye to them. Reinier's communication ahead of and during the retreat was outstanding! All outings were well thought out and organized. My favorites were the trip to the waterfall (on motorbikes!!), beach day at the pristine Virgin (White Sand) Beach and a ceremony at a temple. I was also so happy to finally catch the clear view of the sacred mountain Agung. Simply magnificent!! We also had a chance to take a boat to another island Nusa Penida, to enjoy stunning views and some good quality snorkeling. My friend and I enjoyed all of the yoga and meditation sessions. The Yoga shala was incredible! The grounds were perfect for the walking meditation we did at one point. I couldn't have wished more from the retreat. I truly hope to be able to take part in future retreats wit Drishti Journeys! Terima Kasih! Viktoria"

"I have just returned from a weeklong retreat in Bali hosted by Reinier and Yvette. They promised I would “find my bliss” and they did not disappoint. The retreat is the perfect combination of spiritually uplifting with grounding and connecting to nature and pure love. Plus there were plenty of cultural adventures and surprises sprinkled in daily to keep you on your toes daily! Reinier is the perfect host especially if you’ve never done something like this before, because he keeps you well-informed on what to expect from the day you sign up. And everything he describes or explains is exactly that, plus more! He builds trust and connection with the group so you feel so well taken care of. The accommodations were also better than expected - spotlessly clean, delicious food, and kind, attentive service. After this retreat, I can confidently say I would go anywhere in the world with Reinier and Drishti Journeys. I have 100% trust and confidence in the experience they will deliver! "

"The retreat to Bali was thoughtfully organized, adventurous, educational, delicious and culturally immersive. Drishti Journeys provides so much more than just a Yoga retreat, truly. The most respected guides were chosen to include us in very special traditional events we would have never been privy to. The Yoga studio was beautiful; the Yoga teacher authentic. I left with a full heart, stronger body, educated mind and a more peaceful spirit. It is worth every penny and then some. "

"this trip to Bali was my second retreat with Reiner. Bali has been the most remarkable and significant life changing experiences of my life Reiner's passion, authenticity and vision have opened me up to experiences I could never imagine. "

"Arrived in Sayulita, Mexico with an open mind and no expectations. Than everything was beyond expectations as Drishti Journeys left no stone unturned and allowed me to have a worry free week without having to make any major decisions which I think is a first for me. The timing of the itinerary was dialed in and the excursions a delight ranging from beach jungle hikes, whale watching tour, visiting cultural sites and excellent local restaurants. My personal favorite ended up being the ice bath workshop! Everybody was quite apprehensive but this optional activity took me out of my comfort zone and gave me renewed confidence. The accommodations were excellent with two pools onsite and the ocean a five minute walk away, while the yoga practices were timed to perfection based on everybody's energy levels. Thank you Drishti Journeys for my first international travels in two years, I will be back soon!"

"Everything on the retreat was wonderful. The hotel was clean and a beautiful calm space to enjoy and relax in down time. Reindeer had everything planned out with the options of alternative activities, he made traveling out of the states a comfortable experience for someone who rarely travels.I would highly recommend an excursion with Drishti journeys, I am already thinking about another trip:)"

"I completed my 200hr YTT in Peru this August. I found the online advertising to be misleading and some of the teaching staff to be unprofessional and inexperienced. I would not recommend this training to anyone, especially if you plan on teaching in the future."

"After experiencing many retreats and yoga teacher trainings, I am very disheartened by the lack of professionalism that was provided by the Kula facilitators, and did not return home a stronger teacher. I would not recommend these trainings and would suggest looking into other schools. Poor value."

"Living in a fast paced world where we are often emotionally maxed out, Drishti Journeys provides ample opportunity to hit that pause button for one to restore and rejuvenate in beautiful surroundings. My most recent retreat in May 2018, with Drishti Journeys, was in Bali. The island of Bali, and specifically the spiritual hub of Ubud, absolutely stole my heart. The experience wouldn't have been possible without the wonderfully curated mix of yoga, wellness, adventure, and cultural immersion. I'm still in pure Bali bliss and plan to make this an annual medicine-for-the-soul trip! Thank you for the wonderful experience Drishti Journeys :) Can't wait to join you again."
