Praise from previous retreatants:

"The weekend was fantastic--exactly what I needed. Time for fellowship, thinking, examining beliefs, personal growth, and time for good food and rest and retreat--it really was the perfect balance as a platform for me to offer myself self-compassion and work through some issues in my life and my beliefs about myself."
A.S. Hudsonville, MI

"Beautiful, thought provoking. The setting of the Inn was perfect for this retreat, lovely venue, and the energy was lovingly charged with nothing but caring and kindness. Thank you for your calm, compassionate presence and helping me feel loved as I am, right here, right now."
K. R. Ada, MI

"Enlightening! I learned so much about myself. Being in community with other women, listening to their stories, I realized how important it is for women to support one another. The retreat schedule and pace were perfect." C.L. Big Rapids, MI

"I left feeling refreshed, inspired, confident ...."
