Girls, this retreat is the BIGGEST investment in yourself that you will ever make!! I received profound messages/knowledge in all the experiences and adventures during the retreat. I made new friendships, experiences I would never have had and lots of insight in to my life that I was blind to before. I had a wonderful time, met awesome women that I feel I made lifelong connections with and had a major healing and learning experience on this retreat. I can’t recommend it enough. Candice and Amanda are amazing!! It’s so worth the investment in YOUR health and well-being!!
