June 2009 Summer Retreat
with a focus on Women's Wisdom & Wellness
facilitated by Dr. Helene B. Leonetti & Tahya

I believe I speak for all of us when I say I found the weekend to be a magical experience ~ such loving energy flowing abundantly albeit we did miss Grant's presence both as master drum facilitator and kindred spirit. It was not quite the same without Grant so we simply must assure his participation next time! Nonetheless, focusing on the Ceremonial Systrum was a well-received alternative...

Thanks again to Bonnie for the delicious dining experiences and rolling out the red carpet as it were, creating such a beautiful and sacred space for exploring one's creativity and well-being, and thanks to the Powers that Be for that beautiful big golden moon rising in the sky on Saturday nite smiling down upon the gorgeous fire Jeffrey built and managed for us, and the the delightful weather allowing us to picnic, etc., etc.!!!

Please see below for treasured comments from evaluations:

Did you learn something new about yourself? If so, what?

...more than I could have ever imagined - Jen

...to treat myself with love and tenderness ~ when we chanted about honoring the body, mind & spirit with love & tenderness, I awakened to a realization I could be much more tender with myself. - Kitty


Would you recommend this program to others? Why?

Absolutely! Tahya's passion & kindness is beyond words. This program was a fun, safe, nonjudgemental weekend. Namaste' - Mia

Yes, to get more women inspired by the power within, to generate more love in everyday life. I also want to comment on the compassion you show to those who are vulnerable and feeling "less than". Although I started the weekend feeling that way, I ended up feeling very much empowered... (and) witnessed your caring with others. I enjoyed the complete experience of the weekend. - Michelle

Absolutely. It is a grand escape and wonderful experience - Lorel Delilah

Swirling in the sweet energy and loving spirit permeating every aspect
... a gathering of women that was nurturing and uplifting.
