What Past Attendees Are Saying
From last year's Dream & Eco-Therapy Retreat in IdyllwildThis retreat is a perfect balance of personal inner work, natural relating to the outer world, professional development, and a tuning deeper to one's own path. Abi and Cindy are wise and needed leaders in this space.
It was a pleasure to watch you work with dreamers — seamlessly weaving somatic practices into the exploration of archetypes and images that appeared in the dreams. You have an exquisite way of synthesizing and communicating information so that I clearly understood everything you shared.
— Susan Ackerman JosephI loved the fusion of nourishment and invitation to come for ourselves, while also creating many tangible opportunities to bring back the experiences as offerings to those we work with. The physical environment of Idyllwild was simply magical.
