David and Alana are wonderful hosts and teachers. I went on an individual retreat seeking peace. The massage and Breema work were a balm to my soul and body. I was hurting inside and out. They were good listeners. What really was the best “take home” for me was the instruction on breath. The instruction and practice on mindful breathing helped immensely to center and recalibrate. To be able to be in the present moment without the anxiety of what could come next or the experience of shame of what has gone by was the best gift—just to be immersed in present moment was cleansing and restorative. I will be back for more retreats!
I have had the pleasure of restoring my mind, body & spirit with Dave & Alana on a solo retreat every year for the last 4 or 5 years.I cannot recommend their retreats enough! They are two of the kindest souls I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting! Every year when I return, they make me feel so welcome & treat me like family.It’s two days of delicious homemade (usually homegrown) meals, restoring my mind through yoga and meditation & relaxing with massages and breema. The one on one chats with Alana are just a bonus! :-)I highly recommend their retreats to anyone that needs a reset or a break for life!
I've attended several silent retreats and cannot say enough positive things. It's a peaceful, loving place - the land is beautiful and the rooms are comfortable. I loved the meditative practices that were shared and the food was nourishing and exactly what I needed to come "home" to myself. Alana and Dave are beautiful people that want to share their passion with others. I cannot wait to schedule another retreat with them.
