This trip will stay with me forever. It was so lovely in every way possible. The people who ran it were beyond fabulous. The people who went were a unique group of community. The food was off the charts . The things we did were incredible.... Only rave reviews!!!
This retreat was absolutely incredible and way more than I was expecting in ways of soul nourishment, and sweet connection in such a safe container. My highlights: Christine, Cole and Kate and their incredible presence, energy and knowledge. The morning movement that I was supported in doing however worked for my body, the tea ceremony including the lesson around the history of tea, the encouragement to get curious about how it landed in me and the opportunity to share my experience with another, the singing with Kate and the singing ceremony with Alexandra - SO POWERFUL!! Also, I think it was a great idea to bring in some others from outside to help us begin our integration back into the world. another favorite was the yoga Nedra with Gia. Who needs drugs? I got to a state of pure awareness.🙏🏼🙏🏼
Also the food - all things about the food, the preparation, the beautiful women who created it, the presentation, the healthiness, Aleah teaching me about ghee. My accommodations were perfect. - solo forest room right next to the bathroom was perfect. I loved our meals together. Another favorite was Christine’s seal story. and inquiry questions around that - actually all of the inquiry questions that were given to us throughout the entire retreat were so beautiful and prompted me to go deep within. I also really enjoyed the one hour breath work- I’m wanting to look into that more and obviously it was healing for me with the memory I had come up and everyone else seemed to have a great experience with that as well. I love when others can experience breath work!! the closing circle with us offering to the fire was a perfect closure as well. I am holding my word, tending close to my heart and want to come from this place when I’m interacting with the world - both inside and out. I loved who showed up for this retreat and that the majority of us have done so much work on ourselves that it was extra special to be able to drop in with this crew. Having the schedule posted was also very helpful and you telling us at the end of each session what the rest of the day looked like was helpful. Really the best part was Christine and Cole being so authentic and themselves throughout the whole week while also holding space for us. The two of you work incredibly well together - you have different energies and they just sync up to create the safest grounding exploratory container. Having Kate and Gia join was extra doses of yumminess! Thank you for an absolutely incredible experience and sharing yourselves with me. I am truly grateful🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Cole and Christine and grounded, real, and powerful facilitators who made everyone feel comfortable and in community. The land, the food, and the practices were delicious, restorative and extremely insightful. They were very understanding and accommodating when I got sick and then had to leave a little bit early. It’s so refreshing that after practicing with Cole on YouTube for the past few years, she’s the same person in her videos while remaining down to earth! I’m excited to have met Christine as well and hope to continue attending events as she’s in my area. Wonderful retreat ladies and I know everyone felt the wonderful effects! 🩷
It was a truly amazing experience on so many levels.
Cole and Kimberly are more than yoga instructors - they are magical human beings that created and delivered wonderful experience to everyone and guided the group through the Heart practices. The morning yoga sessions with the sun rising above the mountains were very special and will stay with me forever.
I found Paul's mediation and Michelle's breathwork sessions positively surprising and they complemented work we've done on and off the yoga matt wonderfully.
We had great excursions and the gratitude session at the big Buddha statute at the sunset was a pure magic.
The Mala Dhara resort is simply beautiful and so peaceful and relaxing. The vegan food was delicious, vibrant and full of flavour.
Signing up for that retreat was the best decision I've made in 2023.
