Shawna is the ultimate professional and organizer. Every last detail was taken care of and we were thoughtfully cared for in the most wonderful ways. It is amazing to see how seamlessly Shawna cared for a large group of diverse individuals and supported a myriad of needs and requests with expeditious pleasure. In addition to all of our logistical, dietary, and recreational needs being thoroughly met - Shawna infused kindness, care, community building, connection, humor, and love into 8 days of sheer joy!

This trip was an outstanding experience in every possible way. From the breathtaking location and beautiful accommodations to the incredible people at Amaru, every detail exceeded expectations. The yoga sessions, thoughtfully curated activities, and seemingly endless surf made each day feel both adventurous and deeply nourishing. What truly set this experience apart was the unwavering support, genuine friendship, and guidance offered by everyone there—I felt welcomed and cared for in a way that made the entire journey unforgettable. Amaru is a truly special place, where opportunities to connect with the environment both physically and spiritually are woven effortlessly into every moment. The experience was nothing short of transformative, and one I will carry with me long after leaving.

This retreat was truly an incredible experience. From the beautiful location to the most amazing group of people, I had the best time. Shawna is phenomenal and I can’t recommend her trips enough!
