I absolutely loved this retreat. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but knew Megan would make sure it was just right. This retreat was truly a restore and reset for me! I’m taking the structure and insightful exercises back with me and plan to implement them in my day to day routine. Thank you Megan for the learning, yoga, delicious meals, the jungle, the excursions, and your loving guidance!! Can’t wait for more to come.

I am incredibly grateful for this trip. I TRULY feel in tune with my mind, body, and soul. Megan has a gift for allowing people to be their true selves and not feel that they are being judged. This space made me feel just that: my true self. I made a promise to myself to never miss this again. It’s too expensive for me to not give myself time. And I wouldn’t want to spend it any other way than restoring my soul.
