10 days ago I went on the most amazing retreat in Sedona.. I went with the intention of finding the inner strength and clarity much needed for day to day living. I was in a difficult space -- and intuitively I knew I needed the strength that can only be arrived in knowing myself by means of inner stillness and having the support of strong women around me.. Lakshmi, in this goddess retreat provides a unique experience of yoga meditation hiking amazing vegan gf food food loving camaraderie with women having similar spiritual mindsets. ( That said even if one would arrive here not having explored a spiritual path, one would feel completely comfortable here and accepted ). Each day we went deeper and deeper exploring our inner being...the Goddesses within..morning breathing exercises and yoga were phenomenal. Having prepared our mind and body, the daily hikes were *that*much more beautiful. On the second day, most memorable to me, was a rewarding beautiful double rainbow coupled with a cleansing sprinkles of rain - on my birthday. (Side note: These beautiful women gave the most beautiful bday with a warm group hug, singing and a surprise cake. I was so touched. Felt so connected!) Even 2 weeks afterwards, I feel the calm, the strength. Now back in trials of daily living and it's challenges, I see I am wise - I see and reach for the goddess warrior in me. I never imagined this retreat would have such an impact. I look at the world differently... Like a droplet of water on a leaf... Attached but detached... Thank you Lakshmi... The healing that you provide has been profound.

I really enjoyed Jaya Lakshmi‘s women’s retreat. The schedule was lovely, our nature outings were epic, singing and doing yoga together with her was amazing, and the food was incredible. This retreat cleared away some depression I was feeling and left me feeling relaxed and renewed. I am so happy I made the choice to attend and will do so again.
