This trip was a 50th birthday present for myself, and it was 100% one of the best presents I've ever received. I loved the setting, a modern oceanside villa with a wonderful staff and delicious Jamaican food. We were very well taken care of.
The activities, both on and off site, were fun. I also ordered a massage, reiki, and a tantra session, and all 3 were healing in their own way.
I think the group dynamics make or break these kinds of trips... Our group was lit! Everyone was friendly, and we all connected with someone. I know that there will be lasting relationships after the trip. (My roommate selection was damn near psychic, too. We had A LOT in common.)
I was freaking out for a few weeks before the trip. I knew I would be the oldest person. I'm in a bigger body and often don't feel confident about it. I'm an awkward nerd at heart. But I felt completely accepted, and that acceptance, and the things I learned about myself during the trip, were life-changing.
I've wanted to move differently in my life for a while, and this experience is giving me the permission and courage to do it. It was exactly what I needed.
Oh, the weed was abundant and chef's kiss, flowers to edibles. 😉
Erica and Milah have created something special with this retreat. I would definitely do it again, and I encourage anyone looking to relax, heal, and celebrate life and sisterhood to consider it.
