Testimonials
What a wonderful retreat -time out -an amazing group of people, wonderful healthy food, fantastic venue, music and singing, heart-sharing, deep group work, beautiful practice of all 4 forms and powerful healing in an amazing qi field. The healing went far further then Wainui (my son who I put into the qi field recovered from a chest infection almost over night & other people shared their amazing healing stories, all while we were at the retreat).
The creativity was flowing so beautifully in the evolving of the retreat, the time moving by almost unnoticed. Everyday was a creation and a connection of people .The free flow and openness for everyone to be oneself or to have the chance to get closer to it ! The guidance to go inside to learn to be ok with what ever comes up, and to have the positive support from people around ( so good to be reminded in such nice ways when we fall into old patterns ). It was a beautiful learning environment for self-discovery and self-confidence.
I loved the lightness, the sharing circle, the spontaneous creative singing, the stormy weather outside, the elements wild outside while we where meditating and feeling safe. The awareness of the of the 5 essential qualities which where so present and all the ren xue teaching, the working with old patterns, waking up and being aware. What can I say as suggestion of change or improvement -as it was what it was pretty perfect! For what ever I was dealing with, as we can only talk for our self. There was so much to learn and the learning keeps on going.
Thanks again for all the organising and planning and all the time you all have put in to created the opportunity to have this retreat. Thanks with gratitude and gongjing

It never ceases to amaze me how wonderful and inspiring these retreats are. Each year I start a fresh - delightfully humbling. This year i have learned more about self care & self love, how to better monitor my internal dialogue & gradually transform it into a more positive dialogue. Huge thanks to all who attended.

I had an amazing synchronistic that supported my decision to come to the retreat. My self respect had suffered as a result of some back sliding in life despite many attempts to care for others and be a good person. This retreat has lifted the cloak of grief and guilt I felt, from my disconnecting from my journey (Ren Xue aspect) of becoming my true self. I have experienced self love and practiced self healing here and feel deep transformation beginning even in my cells! I still have much to do but now have the courage to do it.
