Retreat Testimonials
"Val is the loveliest retreat leader. I would follow her anywhere! She creates a warm and welcoming environment. Our weekend had the perfect balance of yoga, nature, education, fun, structure, rest, and special treats. The music was AMAZING, from the perfectly curated playlists to the sound bath to the live musician. Val clearly thought through every detail with love and intention. I left feeling grounded and renewed with a new clarity about my life. I look forward to joining Val on another retreat as soon as I can!"- Farrar
