If you are looking for a get-away where you'll alternate a few yoga sessions on the beach with sipping mimosas, this is not the retreat for you. However, if you're looking for a catalyst where you will meet your Creator, new friends and - most importantly - all the beautiful, messy parts of yourself and come out changed on the other side, Laura Perkins is your girl!
Laura is a matriarch, a wisdom keeper. I was (and am still) beyond honored to be invited into this life-changing retreat. Laura cultivates her life and her Self. She thoughtfully crafts the pieces of her world as she puts them together: her words, her food, her daily spiritual practices, and it is in this way she is able to create a container for learning, healing, growth that is truly sacred. She is the embodiment of mindfulness and welcomes her students with a come-as-you-are gracefulness that is half leader, half sister, all presence. Her ability to hold boundaries and space are deceivingly effortless, with lots of gentleness and humor, and years of practice behind her. Her devotion is evident and inspiring - just what you want in a teacher.
I felt like I walked into a spiritual playground - met by soul sisters, clean and delicious food, and all the books, oracle decks, essential oils one could want to dive into. There was a delicious variety of different modalities and teachers of yoga and a sound bath! And of course, the star at the center of it all - the ThetaHealing course. Laura deftly weaves the ThetaHealing course material and her own style/mindfulness philosophy into an accessible program. I felt incredibly encouraged and supported as I learned this new modality. After so many online courses, it was so refreshing to have the validation of what I was learning in real time as we practiced, as well as support and questions answered where needed.
If you are ready to go deeper with ThetaHealing AND deepen your own relationship with yourself and the Divine, Laura's retreat is a wonderful place to start! Thank you Laura! Looking forward to returning in the future.
