This retreat delivered everything I hoped for and more, proving to be exactly what I needed. I had a truly wonderful time, with every aspect meeting and even exceeding expectations. Maestra Courtni’s expertise and insightful guidance were evident as she skillfully supported both my journey and those of the other participants. The retreat was not only informative but also deeply supportive, fostering a sacred and safe space that allowed each of us to journey inward with confidence.
My shared room was a haven of comfort and cleanliness, thoughtfully equipped with tools that proved invaluable throughout my experience. A generous array of snacks and beverages was readily available throughout my stay, a comforting and constant offering. The outdoor area felt like a portal to a magical realm, a truly immersive natural experience. The zero gravity recliners around the firepit encouraged a more grounded connection with the earth. Courtni’s unwavering presence throughout the entire ceremony created a strong sense of holding and support. The intentional collection of our phones proved to be an unexpected blessing, creating a sanctuary free from the relentless pull of outside distractions.
With a deeply respectful approach, Courtni established clear expectations and ground rules, nurturing an atmosphere that beautifully balanced personal introspection with a sense of community. The pre-arranged silent nature of the retreat fostered a deeply personal experience for each of us, yet still allowed for connection and conversation outside designated quiet times. The shamanic drumming and sound journey were profoundly effective, and the sound bath served as the perfect preparation, aligning my energy for the journey ahead. Choosing this retreat was the most profound act of self-care I’ve undertaken. Working with Courtni illuminated the extent to which I had allowed myself to fade into the background, a realization that feels both significant and empowering.
