I had a great time attending alone for this trip, creating many opportunities for me to meet great people and grow personally. Yoga was a part of it but rest, relaxation, good food I didn’t have to prepare, and many laughs were included in each day. I grew in my personal relationship with God and felt encouraged by all the new women I met. Thank you Mindy and Heather for making this event possible by stepping out and making your dreams happen; so that the rest of us can start dreaming again in our lives.

Absolutely an incredible experience! Loved the location, loved the activities we did, loved the food, loved the free time, loved the new friends I made! Heather and Mindy are a great team and incredible hosts! I highly recommend any Breath and Story retreat. You won't be disappointed!

This was the best retreat I’ve ever been to. What I love the most is that the experience invites you to relax and breathe, with just the right amount of planned activities. We practiced yoga every day, homemade healthy meals were served, we spent time in our journal, hiked, learned how to crochet, and much more. The leaders, Heather and Mindy, took so much time procuring the perfect weekend with every detail given so much thought. This was my third retreat with Breath and Story, and I’m already looking forward to my fourth.

I had the most fantastic time on my fourth retreat to a beach town in Seabrook, WA. I'm so glad my sister could join me this time. It was her first retreat with Breathe and Story. We left feeling uplifted and inspired, having discovered new aspects of ourselves. The atmosphere was safe and nurturing. The journal activities, which included guided writing exercises, were insightful, leading to personal growth. Each day, we started with a rejuvenating yoga session. One evening, we gathered around a bonfire for storytelling and relaxation. My favorite part was the painting class. The delicious meals were a highlight, and we also had plenty of downtime to visit the shops, restaurants, and the beach. You are missing out if you have yet to experience one of Mindy and Heather's getaways.

I had a wonderful time! Great people, delicious food and comfortable accommodations. Plenty of rest, relaxation, yoga and journaling. Plus all the fun adventures. It was so nice to have everything all planned out from transportation, food, and activities. Well worth the money. Thank you for this amazing life changing experience!
