I was,once again, fortunate to have been afforded the opportunity to travel with Lisa on her Ikaria retreat. My first retreat with Lisa was a Camino walk, which I’ve shared with many, changed my life in every profound, positive way. This was my second time traveling with this amazing woman on another one of her wonderful retreats. I can’t say enough about Lisa and the experiences she organizes. She is stellar in every way. She provides experiences that one could never imagine given a typical tour. In Ikaria we were afforded a lunch cooking class with a woman who opened her home and heart to us and shared her knowledge of the Ikaria culture; it was such a gift and an experience few people would ever have been afforded if not for Lisa’s contacts and knowledge with the local community. Lisa’s organizational skills combined with her enthusiasm and willingness to share her insights about the Camino, the blue zones, mindfulness and meditation practices are such a gift to all who are fortunate to attend her retreats. Once again, I am changed forever knowing the power of meditation, blue zone living, and Lisa’s wisdom. If ever you hope for something that will bring you peace and could possibly change your life; I can only hope that you will embrace a retreat with Lisa. She has been a beautiful blessing to me and I am better for knowing her. I’m looking forward to my next adventure with this amazing woman. Dr. Janet Hurley.

Absolutely fabulous trip. Beautiful Lisa curated a wonderful itinerary and expert guides to suit our interests. We avoided the madding crowds and engaged with locals in truly spectacular experiences. The bonus was her incredible cooking and care for everyone in our group. I could not rate this experience more highly. Loved every minute. Thank you so much Lisa!

The memories of the Sardinia retreat with Lisa will stay with me for a life time. There was such a beautiful sense of welcome and hospitality everywhere we went, and the opportunity to connect with local people, learn about their traditions and experience their way of life made the journey feel truly authentic rather than simply another holiday. Lisa's love of preparing food for others, thoughtfulness and genuine care were evident in every aspect of the retreat. The itinerary was beautifully tailored, offering an incredible variety of experiences that combined culture, education, delicious local cuisine and genuine connection. Each experience gave us a genuine insight into the heart and soul of Sardinia. I also loved the balance between organised activities and free time to enjoy our villa and relax. An authentic, enriching and beautifully curated experience that I would wholeheartedly recommend. Thank you, Lisa, for making Sardinia so memorable!

Lisa organized an amazing Blue Zone and mindfulness trip to Ikaria, with experiences I could never have put together on my own. Two very special memories were being welcomed into local Ikarian homes—one for a traditional breakfast and another to prepare and enjoy an absolutely incredible lunch. The warmth and generosity of the people we met and the way they welcomed us wherever we went made the week so special. Another favorite memory was a beach day followed by an impromptu, hilarious afternoon of wine, snacks, and laughter. I connected with a wonderful group of women from around the world and many of us are already planning future retreats with Lisa. But perhaps the biggest gift of the week was getting to know Thea and her family. We left feeling as though we’d known her for years, and I’m already looking forward to visiting again—maybe every year! Thank you, Lisa, for bringing us together and making such a memorable experience possible.

This Sardinia Retreat was my first Retreat with Lisa and I have since just returned from another one with her in Ikaria. Both retreats were above a 10 out of 10 experience. Lisa connected us with authentic experiences we would likely not have had access to as individual travelers. The warmth, attention to detail, and the curated authentic experiences that Lisa’s retreats provide are simply exceptional. Furthermore, Lisa as a retreat leader and a human being is warm, attentive, honest and she has a lovely sense of humor! We all enjoyed her leadership as well as her company. I confidently and highly recommend any of Lisa’s retreats!
