This was a lovely retreat. Martha and Ro did a great job creating a schedule that afforded plenty of solitary time (something I crave) paired with dynamic, transformational exercises in group. It was wonderful to have so many interesting co-attendees to chat with at dinner and before class; this retreat attracts bright, creative seekers. At the same time, there seemed to be a shared value around respecting one another's need for quiet communing with the forest. Imaloa is situated in a spectacular spot with views down the coast and quiet pristine jungle in which to sit, observe and be dazzled by the natural wildlife. The feel of this place is very special and there is a palpable warmth at Imaloa; I really enjoyed connecting with the people there and felt very well cared for. Something that really impressed me both times I attended this retreat were the ways in which Martha presented a plethora of fascinating ideas while creating a very interactive experience. Each class was fast-paced and exciting with time for questions and experiential practice. Yet there was so much spaciousness to our days that we could "steep" in, or be with, those ideas in a non-analytical way. Martha's suggestions for ways to open this aperture further were especially resonant for me. This retreat was no less moving the second time around. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to deepen their relationship with themselves while having a lot of fun with others. Thank you to Martha, Ro and the staff of Imaloa for a wonderful experience.

A retreat with Marti & Ro is a life-giving experience. This was our second time and it was as good as the first which is saying a lot. The setting, the people, the wellness experiences, our dome in the tropical rain forest and most especially the teachings by Martha were exceptional. I feel so grateful to have been part of this "culture cleanse" which helped me reawaken and reconnect with my true nature.

The retreat was incredible; exactly what I needed when I needed it. The combination of Martha's deep, soul-changing workshops, supportive community, and gorgeous Imiloa with its blend of comfort and jungle wildness, was magical. I feel like a huge part of my wild nature was restored. Many thanks to Marty, Ro, Nat, and the entire team!

Amazing experience. The accommodations were so comfortable and there was so much food! Loved how they brought coffee in the morning and I could start the day meditating on the deck. Marty and Ro were wonderful, as teachers and leaders to show us how we can be light beings and humans at the same time. 10/10 would recommend!

Big Magic unfolded during this retreat. Being in the presence of Martha Beck and Rowan Mangan, co-creating with the group, and being held by the gentle jungle was truly awe-inspiring. The spontaneous visit by Elizabeth Gilbert added an extra layer of above-and-beyond fabulousness to an already extraordinary experience. The bungalow, with its balcony opening into lush nature, the delicious food, and the open-armed warmth of the staff were an absolute delight. This retreat was exceptional in every way — a multidimensionally transformative experience that continues into real life.
