Kelly Brandon Retreat - Crete 2021
From this experience I found myself more interested in the philosophy of yoga. Kelly's discussion on that was fascinating and something I may follow up on. I can't really say my thought process evolved but based on the above it may over time! What we learn daily does become a part of who we are as we move forward so that my new interest in yoga philosophy will be incorporated into my daily life, I hope. Thank you for your efforts to provide a successful yoga retreat. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Mariel Buqué Retreat - Mykonos 2021
Dear Niki, The retreat was amazing and all of the hard work that you and your staff put into it was very obvious and much appreciated. Even the confusion of my last night at Kivotos not being available became a treasured night in Athens. Reflection questions: 1) I learned that you never know the pain, baggage or demons someone carries when you first meet. 2) My thought process evolved tremendously...open up to people, share your pain...you or they may say something that can help with their or your own healing process or journey without even being aware of it. 3)I always tried to be mindful and a positive person. But meeting this group of women and spending sacred time together has given me a little golden nugget to carry with me on my healing journey. Truly special! Again my sincerest thanks,
