Participant Reviews

What They’re Saying

Going to a retreat was way out of my comfort zone. I’m not that great in groups and I like a lot of alone time, so the thought of being in a house with a group of people I didn’t really know for 5 nights was quite confronting. Little did I know, my concerns were totally groundless. I loved the retreat from start to finish. The combination of organised time and down time suited me perfectly, as did the plentiful opportunities to just escape and be on my own if I felt the need. I thoroughly enjoyed time with the group as there was no pressure to participate and I felt it was always my choice.
I feel like I’ve had a total mind reset, which was just what I needed. I feel calmer, more present, and not like I am sinking under the weight of my current commitments anymore. I arrived at the retreat feeling totally depleted by the current demands on my time and energy and I left feeling like I had been filled up again. I have come home with a renewed focus on giving to myself, so I don’t feel like I’m running on empty all the time. I also have a renewed commitment to spending some quiet time each day, meditating, or undertaking an activity I enjoy. I’ve realized that for me this is a daily must, just to quieten my mind and return to a sense of clarity and calm.
I really can’t thank you and Di enough for such a wonderful and memorable experience.

This was my first retreat and I'm so grateful for being encouraged to do it. I felt very empowered, and am already looking forward to the next one.
The location and weather were stunning... the catering bountiful and delicious! I ate so much beautiful vegetarian food that I gained weight...
Back at work some of my colleagues have even remarked that I am glowing, and noticeably calmer, not speaking as quickly as I normally do.
So much laughter (and a few therapeutic tears) were shared with my fellow retreaters, and we've made plans to meet again soon. 
Thank-you Tanja and Di for working so beautifully together to make such an awesome experience possible for us.
Feeling Full of Gratitude that I Surrended into Being.

I had an absolutely beautiful time with you and everyone else at the retreat!
I am focused and grounded and a lot more flexible and feeling wonderful! I thought that your program was great with the perfect amount of activities and free time. The 1/2 day excursion was really good to include as were the massages. Also the Kirtan on the final night was very special, powerful, fun and uplifting, perfect for our last night together .Thank you both for an amazing week and l am looking forward to joining you again next year. 

I had a very relaxing retreat with Tanja and Di.
The food was delish. We did not want for anything. The retreat accommodation was beautiful. We were very spoilt. The view from our dining table of the endless pool looking over the valley vista was very special and added to the mood of the retreat. Was lovely doing Meditation, various styles of yoga and relaxing activities such as coloring to let our artistic juices flow. There was nothing to think of except to immerse yourself in the retreat and let go of the outside world for a brief moment. 
I came back from the retreat with a different mindset to carry on into my daily life.
Loved it. Thank you.
