I truly enjoyed the experience of being on an all-women’s adventure. Communication with Olivia was top-notch from start to finish, which made everything feel easy and well-organized. The retreat center and our hosts provided amazing food and comfortable, welcoming accommodations. I always felt safe participating in the activities, and having Hugo as our dedicated driver added an extra layer of ease and security. One unexpected takeaway for me was juicing—I can already tell it’s going to become a meaningful part of my lifestyle moving forward. There were so many positive experiences and small shifts that I’m excited to incorporate into my daily life. Some aspects weren’t for me, and I appreciate having had the opportunity to explore them. I tried cannabis and realized it’s not something I connect with. I did feel slightly uncomfortable seeing “weed” listed on our departing paperwork. Similarly, the mushroom experience was something I’m glad I tried once, but not something I’d revisit. One of the most meaningful outcomes of this retreat has been reconnecting with myself emotionally. I originally started antidepressants during a very difficult period while undergoing treatment for breast cancer. With my doctor’s guidance, I’m now in the process of weaning off them, and this experience helped me feel more open to fully experiencing my emotions rather than masking them. In the end, I’m truly grateful for this experience and everything it offered me. It pushed me in ways I didn’t expect and gave me space to reconnect with myself on a deeper level. I’m leaving with a renewed perspective, healthier habits, and an appreciation for trying new things—even the ones that aren’t for me.
