PARTICIPANT REVIEWS

Lori - It exceeded my (high) expectations daily - from the nourishing self-care options and activities, to the outdoor activities, to the group work and learning. It's not a stretch to say that Mystica is a magical place - stunningly beautiful, comfortable, and a wonderful space for reflection and growth.

Kathy - My favorite part was being part of a group of women committed to both delving in to their individual work/experience while fully supporting everyone else in the group in their journey.

Stefani - The retreat surpassed my expectations!!  So much more than I thought it would be.  I loved that we were given time to work and learn about ourselves, plus time to enjoy adventures. You should make this a 10-day retreat.

Nicole - Adriana and Nancy flawlessly integrated all parts: mind, body and soul into a journey to reach my authenticity as a leader.  This was a life-changing program.
