My weekend was a transformational journey on a beautiful property deep in the central Florida woods. Our hostess Marina was so accommodating and the food was delicious. So looking forward to the next event!

I don’t really know where to begin, but I’ll do my best. Sometimes life presents moments that feel serendipitous, beautiful reminders of timing and our ability to manifest. Manifestation, to me, means having clarity about what you want, asking for it, staying open to opportunities, and saying yes when they arrive. That was exactly the case with my decision to go on this retreat. I’ve known Jessica for about 15 years, mostly staying in touch through social media. I’d see her posts from time to time, and this invitation appeared with perfect timing. Even though there was a full itinerary and a good-sized group (which would usually deter me, as someone who values solitude), I felt called to go, without knowing what to expect. From the moment I arrived and saw someone walking barefoot, my energy lifted. I didn’t know anyone other than Jessica, but I instantly felt at home. From the warm welcome with fresh fruit and chile-dusted pineapple, to setting up my tent, to the opening circle where we journaled intentions and released what no longer served us into a bonfire, it all flowed. A silent morning followed by yoga, breathwork, cold plunges, floating and swimming in a beautiful lazy river surrounded by giant trees and rocks, spring diving into the blue hole, barefoot trail walks, nourishing food in constant abundance, sacred service with a world-renowned teacher, deep conversations, lots of laughs, and a bittersweet closing circle. Bitter because the moment was ending, and sweet because of the impact it had on my immediate evolution, all in under 48 hours. This experience was truly life-shifting. It inspired me to take action on my life’s calling. It was medicine at its finest, and in the forest, which made it all the more magical. Beautifully and lovingly curated by Jessica and Marina. I’m in awe of what you both created. Feeling blessed. Thank you. - Evan

Words cannot begin to describe how wonderful this experience was. I chose to join this retreat because I needed time for myself, to slow down and feel present. I went in without expectations. I've known Jessica for a long time, and that connection motivated me to take action and make it to this special place. I felt PRESENT, at PEACE, and LOVED. I felt HEARD and GROUNDED. From our yoga practice to the incredible meals Marina prepared with so much LOVE, to the visits to the spring and the Temple of the Universe, every moment was beautiful. And the other participants… wow! We all connected so naturally and deeply. Since returning, I’ve shared my experience with so many friends and family members and they all said the same thing: “You look refreshed! It seems you had a fantastic time!” Indeed I did! I can’t say it enough… Love you, ladies, and thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you did! 💛

The prefect balance of space, peace and quiet + fun new friends, activities (like a day floating in nature on a tube or another day visiting the temple of the Universe) + incredible tasting healthy food + expert guided yoga and meditation from the one and only Jessica Om 🙏 THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING THERE & A HUGE THANK YOU TO JESSICA & MARINA FOR ORGANIZING!
