Praise
“I had already experienced 8 personal growth experiences in southern destinations and California between 2006 and now. Regarding what I lived with Dominic and Catherine in Punta de Mita in February 2020 is WOW WOW WOW. Unreal. Thank you soooo much. I am back home now and yet I am not the same person I was when I left. It has been a true transformation for me. Very grateful to LIFE and everyone involved in orchestrating this entire adventure. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. NAMASTE”
“This was a wonderful personal experience in a warm and welcoming location. Our teachers offered yoga for everyone and every body and we had amazing chefs who were very aware of the food intolerances in the group. I look forward to coming back!”
“Magnificent retreat in a charming location created for nurturing and nourishing the soul. Thank you to the entire team, you are wonderful beings!”
