GLO Retreat is the perfect place to disconnect from the crazy life that we all have, to clean your body, your mind and your soul surrounded by this beautiful tropical nature far from any stressful stimulation of a big city. Grace really built a real Oasis and that place was exactly everything I needed. I would recommend a GLO Retreat to everyone I know!!!!

This was an amazing trip and was grateful to have met so many lovely souls. We stayed at Villa Premasole near Zadar which was absolutely stunning and wonderfully equipped and decorated. It was a great space for a group to relax and have fun in. Thanks to Niki for arranging all the expeditions to nearby places of interest and for introducing us to her family that lives nearby. She arranged a perfect blend of activities to get a flavour of the country. And thanks to captain Rob for driving us around and making sure we had our seatbelts on. lol Thanks to Grace in conducting the yoga sessions and all her hard work in preparing delicious and healthy meals especially the bierstein breakfast smoothies....And thanks to Chris for introducing me to Block therapy which I would like to look into further. I would absolutely highly recommend this trip and look forward to attending another of Grace's trips.

I had a fantastic experience. It was fun connecting with nature and feeling the love of Mother Earth. Great learning sessions on 'retreat setup' by our G.L.O host and mentor Grace. In nutrition we know that a pinch of salt enhances the flavor of the food it is added to. Grace is like the salt, she adds the best flavor to all that she does and bring out the best in the lives of people she comes across. Thank you Grace and G.L.O team for making my stay so amazing.

Grace is the most down to earth person i've ever encountered in my life! Her story is so inspiring and she was able to challenge me to be a successful entrepreneur. She will always try to accommodate the best she can and make sure that you are comfortable at her wellness centre. Her food tastes amazing that will keep you satisfied while you're there! Her place is sooo beautiful. You will feel at peace being surrounded in nature. Her intern, Lexy, who taught yoga every morning was the sweetest person. She also did Reiki and Crystal healing which was also a really bizarre experience. Chris, Grace's business partner, was very knowledgable in myofascial therapy and gave the best massages! 10/10 recommend!!
