"I just had the most magical experience at the Moon Goddess Retreat. This retreat was a sacred space for rest, recovery and healing, allowing me to disconnect from the mundanes of life and reconnect with my soul. I am filled with gratitude for the opportunity to meet so many beautiful women who have inspired and uplifted me in ways I couldn't have imagined. Here's to the Moon Goddess Retreat - a truly transformative experience that has left me feeling blessed and recharged."

"The Goddess Retreat was truly a personal journey for me, and I cannot express my gratitude for such a beautiful experience. This was my first ever retreat. It was a key part to my healing journey, as recently I have dealt with some very personal unfortunate losses. The Goddess Retreat was everything I did not know I needed: 13 other wonderful, powerful women, a beautiful location surrounded by nature, Kundalini yoga every day, sound baths and meditations, along with breathwork, plenty of time for enjoying the pool and hot tub and amazing organic all plant based meals prepared with love by Chef Michel. I hydrated more than I ever have by drinking water all weekend and I slept amazing for the first time in a long time - I even willingly went on a hike and enjoyed it so much! I also just loved the down time, where we talked amongst each other, went in the hot tub, drank some hot tea at night by the moon surrounded by beauty and nature. I am so excited to incorporate all that I learned (a lot!) from the Goddess Retreat into my daily life, and so thankful for my new 13 Goddess Sisters. I loved every one of them, and definitely have a community of powerful, beautiful women I am comfortable with who are also on their own healing journeys, and seek continuous personal growth. This is everything I wished for and more, and I cannot wait for the next Goddess Retreat! "

"I recently attended a Kundalini yoga retreat in the beautiful Santa Monica mountains, and it was an incredible experience. The setting was serene and allowed for a deep connection with nature. Malia’s yoga sessions were transformative. The dreamy sound baths afterward carried me away into bliss. What made this retreat even more special were the cooking tutorials. Chef Michel shared her expertise in preparing delicious, plant-based meals that were not only healthy but also a culinary delight. Each meal was like eating a beautiful artistic masterpiece. It was a holistic experience that left me feeling rejuvenated and inspired to continue my Kundalini practice and explore plant based cooking. Highly recommend!"
