“I left the retreat with the lowest cortisol level and least muscle tension I've had in years.”
“Loved coming back for a second year! Such appreciation for Jessie and Ni-Cheng who lead with love and compassion. Loved the mindfulness session in the garden. Loved doing yoga on the deck. Loved doing yoga in the yurt. Loved the hikes. Loved our time in Muir Woods. Loved connecting with other health care providers. Loved that I could come with my spouse and dear friend. Loved that I could reconnect with some folks and meet new folks. Loved the nourishing food. Loved the chocolate session. I really loved it all : )”
