Reviews From Past Retreat Attendees

"I had such a wonderful time at your first retreat! I highly recommend it… great ladies, wonderful food and relaxing!!" Ericka - Sun Prairie, Wisconsin

______________________________________________________________________________________

"I had a wonderful experience at the Women's Mindful Retreat at Highlake with Dona, Christine and Theresa. The accommodations at Highlake were beautiful, clean and very comfortable.

Dona made the most delicious food for us and very considerate of dietary restrictions, including gluten free and vegetarian diets. Christine guided us through meditative journaling that sparked new insights and as a group we were able to discuss these topics in a safe caring manner. Teresa led us through multiple yoga sessions, each with a different goal and format. She is an incredible skilled yoga instructor!

This retreat was very powerful to me in many ways, and I would recommend it for anyone looking for a nurturing weekend full of self-exploration, growth and self-care."
