About this trip

I stumbled upon Pumpkin Hollow Retreat Center last year and arrived at what I can only describe as an absolute treasure. Since 1937 Pumpkin Hollow has provided a peaceful and harmonious setting in which our essential spirituality can blossom and grow. You can read more about them at http://www.pumpkinhollow.org. I have since led two retreats at this center and the spirit is undeniably powerful, playful and invites you in protecting your journey. I feel blessed to have found this place and to share its uniqueness with you!

Expect

Expect a transformative escape for a long weekend of yoga, cacao, meditation & communing. I will be joined by my soul sister Amanda Capobianco. Enjoy the practices, great company, garden grown veggies, cozy campfires and hiking the hills amongst the fresh green leaves. Bless yourself as you commit some time to ground and clear as we shift seasons into the light! Full of practices to enlighten the spirit and soul.


Pumpkin Hollow Retreat Center is a cooperative community. We will all work together, take a shift or two of brief yet rewarding karma yoga. As the staff of the center work from their heart as voulenterrs we too will offer our hearts to create a family experience of caring for one another this weekend.

I live in reverence for deepening awareness of source, expanding consciousness and uniting healing hearts. My retreats are designed to be transformational experiences and ask that you enter with this heightened awareness. Come open to receive all that you are meant to, surrender your ideas of what anything is supposed to look like and be willing to let the path unveil itself through vulnerability, tenderness, beauty and joy. Embracing the full spectrum of life allows us to more deeply understand our wholeness.

Jes' energy is pure magic and I am so glad I answered this call from the heart and joined this incredible retreat in Paros, Greece! Yoga asana, workshops, sound healing, Yoga Nidra, meditation - Jes is so knowledgeable and I'm so grateful I got to spend some time with her in the beauty of Greece. I loved the fact this retreat included some island exploring and a day trip to Antiparos! I miss the ocean and the wonderful group of women I made friends with during our time together. If you're nervous or apprehensive about joining because you're a solo traveller (like I was), you're in for such a treat if you do go and I would recommend reaching out to Jes. She was super helpful with my questions and queries before I signed up. I would definitely join a retreat led by Jes again - in fact, I need to make this happen! Jes, thank you so much. I hope you know how grateful I am for you. I feel rebalanced, rejuvenated and re-inspired after my time with you all in Greece xxx

Jes was a wonderful leader and Okra Blue was such a stunning retreat venue. Every detail was well thought out and the food...oh my, don't even get me started. It was epic. What I loved about this retreat vs others is that Jes had activities planned out for almost every day which made the experience feel like an adventure. I also loved that our morning yoga and afternoon/evening workshops were all thoughtfully planned out to coincide with the astrological energy of each day. Who knew that one week could be so lifechanging? It was a trip that I will never forget. I can't wait to do it again! Thank you Jes!!!!!!

Jes and Ky were exceptional hosts on this healing retreat. Jes's meticulous attention to detail made everything run smoothly and ensured that we were all well taken care of. I can't wait to return for another unforgettable experience.

I had attended many of Jes' classes in Brooklyn over the years, but had no idea what to expect out of a retreat experience. Six months later, I can truly say the Divine Mirror was a major turning point in my life. Jes, Antionio & Ky opened the door to many different avenues of healing, understanding, connection, and joy. They have the unique ability of creating a space that allows you to delve into the unknown, yourself, your shadows, while also allowing room for play, laughter, and all of the loveliness and juiciness that Greece has to offer. I went into retreat knowing only Jes, and left having met individuals who have become some of my dearest friends. I could not recommend Jes, Ky and Antonio's offerings enough. Absolute bliss!

I've never been on a retreat before and I was a little concerned about being part of a structured group. But I had such an incredible time! Jes Allen made everything so seamless and fun! Her open and generous nature allowed everyone to instantly become friends and almost family. All in all I'm so grateful for the shared experiences I had with Jes and the lifelong friendships forged on her retreat!

You are a star Shnay! You’re an incredible addition to any group. Thank you for trusting me and I look forward to our friendship unfolding forever as well!
