A wonderful weekend, fun and light hearted even while informative and challenging! The retreat centre was very well chosen, comfortable, and located close to sites of natural beauty which made our free moments well spent out wandering, walking or biking. I feel that my foot has been dipped a little further than the toes now into Ayurveda-in-practice, and I feel confident and enthused to incorporate more of its principles into my daily life. Thank you both. Participant Spring Residential Retreat…
