Testimonials from June 2026 Retreat:
"I deeply appreciated the immaculately held container - the safety, love, care, and presence that surrounded the entire weekend. It created such a powerful space for openness, vulnerability, healing, and connection. I was surprised by the felt sense of calm and safety from the start.
I was also surprised by how quickly the intimacy and trust within the group developed over the course of the weekend. It felt remarkable that a group of relative strangers could feel so deeply connected in such a short time. Given the depth of the practices around consent, touch, boundaries/safety, and authentic expression, I can see how thoughtfully this retreat was designed to support real connection." Lance, PA
"Based on how many people commented to me on my changed countenance as we closed out the retreat and went our separate ways, I believe it may be obvious how much joy I was able to reconnect with this weekend. I, too, was shocked that such opening could happen in such a short stretch of time." Lauren, NY
"The invitation and calling to those wants and needs, those desires so deeply hidden, silenced locked away with shame, fear and loathing of our creativity, our beauty, our life force... No one has ever offered me the keys to open those places within myself as was this past weekend. I can feel the walls around my heart crumbling. The light and love from Niav, Mary and Dan... healing hurts and wounds I didn’t even know I had. (WANTS!) I didn’t know I had! I've been to many retreats, this was by far the best I've ever been to!"
