Life changing. Amanda worked very hard in preparation of this trip so that attendees would really be able to get a taste of the Galapagos Islands. Although we were very active each day, the schedule did not seem hectic. All people involved, including staff at the hotel, the guys on the boat, our drivers and taxi cabs and our fabulous guides always greeted us with a smile and were extremely accommodating.. Meals went from soup to nuts; were plentiful, tasty and very satisfying. All of the above was superior, but does not compare with my personal and emotional experience that was instrumental in my transformation. Amanda and her crew provided the foundation for my deep dive into my challenges. Even before the retreat started, Amanda helped me get there and was always reassuring which helped manage my trepidations. I appreciate Amanda and her talents facilitating an amazing, life, affirming experience for me.
