TESTIMONIALS
"My experience at the Fall 2016 Women's Ayurvedic Retreat was magnificent. Both Heather and Camina, both truly gifted practitioners, created a space for me to relax, reflect and nurture myself in a way I wouldn't normally give myself. The variety of yoga, educational discussions, meditation, and glorious meals mixed with free time were well balanced and enriching. I left the weekend at peace and brought that back to my daily life with ease. I am looking forward to the next retreat and highly recommend it to anyone in need of a restorative weekend."

"Not only was Camina and Heather's Ayurvedic retreat a total joy to attend, but it also left me with a general feeling of calm and ease for more than a week afterwards! Mindful awareness seemed to come naturally for me in this thoughtfully planned and beautifully situated retreat. The hands-on classes were loads of fun and included valuable tips and information that I could not wait to put to use in my routine at home. Most uplifting for me were the divine morning yoga sessions followed by the most delicious breakfasts I've ever enjoyed!"
~Lisa Norosky, Windor, Ca
"The Women’s Ayurvedic Retreat was a much needed respite from my hectic life to nourish and rekindle the need for silence through meditation, yoga and spiritual practices. We were nurtured with delicious vegetarian meals, time for walks in the beautiful hills, and time for personal reflection. Camina and Heather shared their knowledge and experince about the beneficial healing properties of Ayurvedic practices, which can be incorporated into our daily lives. The retreat was an inspiration, a reminder to honor what we have been given, to be kind and compassionate for ourselves and all life."
~Susan Eschler, Santa Rosa, Ca
"I recently had the opportunity to experience a retreat hosted by Heather & Camina. This weekend brought together many of the Ayurveda principals infused with yoga and informational classes while being cradled in Mother Natures beauty. I highly recommend attending a future retreat as you will be welcomed by two phenomenal ladies who provide a loving, safe and life changing experience."
