Testimonials

  • "There are very easy 'bite-sized' things that you can blend into your parenting without having to completely change your parenting style. Felt like a safe nonjudgmental space."

    Participant, Intentional Parenting Workshop

  • "To me, learning how to be the best you for yourself and for your partner is one of the most important and biggest investments you can make in life. Learning to break generational cycles is essential in life! This class and the therapy I've had over the years is helping me more & more every single day."

    Participant, Blueprint for Resilient Couples Workshop

  • This experience made me realize I'm not alone in my grief. Grief looks different for everyone and every journey is also different. The varied perspectives allowed for commonalities to emerge. I found the weaved together voices, the tapestry of everyone's experiences, in sharing (and being vulnerable), the most rewarding. The sense of care, time, and effort to nurture myself was well-needed in my life, at this present moment. I am grateful for the people, the places, the heartfulness given to the retreat weekend. I loved feeling valued & loved & appreciated. Thank you!"

    Participant, Life After Loss Grief Retreat

  • "This trip was healing, it held a safe place to be vulnerable. It was work but such great work. The women were wonderful. Lindsey and Kendra were also absolutely fabulous! I would recommend to my dearest friend. I am so incredibly grateful for this experience and all the work that was put in to make it happen."

    Participant, Women’s Wilderness Retreat

  • "This is one of the best ways to understand what a healthy relationship is supposed to look like. This class helps you see what you are already doing correctly and also what areas you both can work on. All the tools and guidance is from the workbook and the teachers. The only thing left is practice."

    Participant, Blueprint for Resilient Relationships

  • "This is great for awareness and education in parenting today in this fast-paced world."

    Participant, Intentional Parenting

  • "I came into this trip full of judgment and insecurity and left more confident and secure in myself and my trust in others. I was alone before this trip and now I have the belief and proof to show I'm not actually alone. This trip was incredibly freeing, scary, sad, yet beautiful and I faced so many of my fears and tried new things. Overall, I can't even believe I had such an incredible and introspective experience."

    Participant, Teen Wilderness Retreat

  • "I thought as the retreat began, is there really any more for me to learn? I already know all this. And boy, was I wrong. The retreat gave me a ticket to grieve; and in that what Erik, Rhonda, and Lindsey gave me is a ticket to life. Ouray and surrounding areas is a majestic place to discover all that is within you and the beauty of life. Thank you <3"

    Participant, Life After Loss Grief Retreat

  • "This workshop is intense and at times difficult but it gave us the time, space, and framework to begin working on our relationship. We can only achieve growth by stepping out of our comfort zone and this is the jumping off point to begin that growth and improvement."

    Participant, Women’s Wilderness Retreat

    Participant, Teen Wilderness Retreat

  • "Good information on parenting tips."

    Participant, Intentional Parenting

  • "At first I was very nervous but immediately felt the love of all the girls and the therapists. We went on hikes, took in our surroundings, and enjoyed nature. We would have 3 meals a day with dessert and were able to help with meals. We also had group a few times a day that would help all the girls get closer and vulnerable."

    Participant, Teen Wilderness Retreat

  • "It is a safe place to cry & show your emotions. Talking in a group of people that have similar backgrounds, getting out of your comfort zone, being around other women and seeing & feeling their strength- it is very moving. [I appreciated] not having to go into detail unless [I] wanted to. The women that do the trips are wonderful in making sure you are safe & comfortable & full with food."

    Participant, Life After Loss Grief Retreat

  • "I would tell my friend about how mind opening it is to go. Everyone is so friendly, it helped me make new friendships with people similar to me. We went on amazing hikes and learned responsibility. I highly recommend going, I loved it. <3"

    Participant, Teen Wilderness Retreat

  • "This retreat is an incredible, safe opportunity to look introspectively at your deepest hurts and desires around other women who all, in one or many ways, understand. You have space, time to speak or not, safely ask questions and share (also or not!) and find ways to accept healing and letting go. You will leave with new tools, realistic approaches, and a love for yourself you likely did not ever think possible. You deserve it and you can do it. Best of luck in your journey!"

    Participant, Women’s Wilderness Retreat

    Participant, Intentional Parenting

  • "This women's retreat opened my mind and my heart and allowed me to meet the divine feminine for the first time. Through tears, through patience, and grace of women I hadn't known or even met before the start of this weekend, I feel loved and I feel big; I feel like I have space to put my light back into the world and I have a piece of myself back I didn't even know existed. 10/10 every empowered WOMAN should experience."
