I’ve had the privilege of attending multiple retreats with Dori over the past number of years, and each experience has been nothing short of transformative—but this most recent retreat at Yandara Retreat Centre was truly something extraordinary. I took a leap of faith attending my first retreat with Dori’s about 8 years ago. It exceeded every expectation I had—and that same magic has carried through every single retreat since. Dori is not only a visionary, but she is also a true community builder. She brings together exceptional co-leaders and participants, creating a space that feels both deeply intentional and profoundly supportive. There’s something incredibly powerful about the way these retreats are designed. In just one week, you journey through such depth—emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Each day is a thoughtful blend of experiential learning, Kundalini yoga, meditation, journaling, and creative practices that awaken something within you. It’s immersive in the best way, yet always balanced with time to rest, reflect, and simply be. Yandara itself is breathtaking - set right on the ocean, with stunning sunsets, nourishing food, and a simplicity that allows you to truly unplug and reconnect. There is a beautiful rhythm to each day: meaningful growth, deep connection, laughter, stillness, and moments of awe. Whether it’s breathwork, sound baths, art, or even unexpected experiences like connecting with horses, every element feels purposeful and expansive. What keeps me coming back, though, is the feeling I leave with. These retreats have helped me reconnect to myself in a way that feels grounded, clear, and aligned. I leave feeling renewed, inspired, and deeply nourished—body, mind, and soul. I also leave with something just as meaningful: connection. The people Dori attracts are open-hearted, thoughtful, and committed to growth, and being in that kind of community is incredibly powerful. Dori has created something truly special—a space where you can show up exactly as you are, be supported in your growth, and rediscover what brings you joy. It’s not just a retreat; it’s an experience that stays with you long after you return home. If you’re considering it—take the leap. It might just change your life.

This was my third time attending an Enso Learning retreat at Yandara Retreat Center in Mexico. It's one of my favorite destinations. Dori does an excellent job of pacing the learning and the variety of experiences and activities during the retreat so there is plenty of time to relax and restore in addition to practicing yoga. Each year, she has included new activities such as breathwork, art making, sound baths, and even a visit to a horse sanctuary where we were able to experience the beautiful energy of the horses. Whether you're an experienced yogi, or a beginner, you'll feel right at home as Dori provides accommodations for each pose to boost or decrease the level of difficulty for each person. She always includes a day to visit Todos Santos, a quaint town where you can purchase art, jewelry, clothes, blankets, and local food. Yandara is a magical place. The accommodations are simple, yet very comfortable. The food is fresh, mostly vegetarian and delicious. Staff members are friendly and there to help you have a wonderful stay. And the setting - right on the beach where you often see migrating whales just off the shore and spectacular sunsets, is second to none! Take a hike, go for a swim, schedule a massage, and order a delicious smoothy for an afternoon snack. You'll come home refreshed, recharged, and wishing you could have stayed a few more days.

This retreat was a gift and Dori is a change maker! The program was beautifully designed — relevant, soulful, engaging, and exactly the nervous system reset I didn’t know I needed so badly. It was experiential, interesting, fun, and at times delightfully entertaining. I came home refreshed, reconnected, and even more limber given the inclusion of yoga. What made the experience even richer were the people I met — smart, savvy, open-hearted practitioners and leaders who are making the world better in their own corners of it. Being in the company of people like that was both inspiring and affirming. More than anything, I left feeling nourished — body, mind, and soul. A beautiful experience from start to finish.

Once again, we flourished with vitality, compassion, creativity, laughter and tears. enso brought together to perfect group in this magical setting and held space for our journeys and transitions. Thank you Dori, Grace and Erin!

Attending the Flourishing with Vitality retreat with Dori and Enso Learning for the second time was nothing short of extraordinary. The depth of soul work, combined with rejuvenating yoga and meditation, created a truly transformative experience. Yandara is a breathtaking setting—its natural beauty enhances the entire journey, making every moment feel sacred. The food was absolutely spectacular, nourishing both body and soul. Every detail of the retreat was thoughtfully curated, fostering growth, reflection, and deep connection. Dori, Grace and Erin’s guidance and approach provided profound insights and tools that I will carry with me long after the retreat. I left feeling refreshed, inspired, and more aligned with my purpose. I can’t wait to return again next year!
