2022 Fall Weekend Retreat

Well, besides getting nine new friends, even though some of these are old friends, I feel like we have a newfound relationship. I just don't know how to thank you, Robin. The work that you did, you did it with such grace and simplicity and you made it look so easy. I know how you put your heart and soul into this so that we could all get so much out of it. And the growth... I hardly have words, I need to process it, but I look forward to my future self thanks to everything that I've learned here this weekend.

The retreat was great! Deep and full. I got some new friends and I got some clarity. Taking time to be able to get complete thoughts out of my head and onto paper, to wade through the muddy waters until I found some clarity was truly a gift. Emotions are always a little exhilarating AND draining when I allow myself to feel them fully. It was a privilege to hold space for some really big aha moments for some really amazing women, and learn so much from their stories. The laughter was good too. I'm thankful for Robin's intention, her hopefulness and her joy, that rubbed up on all of us. I appreciated the weekend so much.

Amazing. The retreat was the most uplifting, motivational, empowering thing I have ever done for myself! I left feeling so good about myself. Taking compliments is difficult and this experience was so good for my heart and soul! I loved the bonding in the kitchen and stepping out of my eating comfort zone and trying new things! I figured out a little bit of who I am and what I want to work on to be the best me possible. This was just an amazing weekend and I can't wait to see these women again in six months.

You know, it just makes you really look at your life and what your passions are, and are you really living your best life? The women that you meet are incredible. I really value the time I spent here. Thank you, Robin.

This was a weekend of 10 like-minded women coming together to share struggle, vulnerability, growth and new direction. The bonding that took place between people who walked in and didn’t know each other, and walked out as dear friends 40 hours later was incredible. I so enjoyed getting lost in the creative project. Finding time for FLOW activities is a challenge in our day to day lives, and I appreciated the time and space to do just that. The level of emotional sharing was remarkable, and absolutely what the weekend was all about. Robin, your questions and reflections were amazing, and your ability to hold space and simultaneously keep things moving is hard to do, and you did it well! Your circle of support created a concentrated loving energy that was palpable. Thank you, Robin, for creating the whole experience!

Oh my God. Some of the women I knew and some I didn't. The connection with the women deepens even those with the ones you know, which was so cool. One of my biggest aha moments was about my future self that another participant said. Since I'm the kind of person that thinks I know everything, to have one of those deep aha, oh-my-God, this-can-change-my-life, (which it will), was mind blowing for me. There was a richness in sharing with a group of women, in those deep, hard, soulful things and know that you're supported and loved. And for Robin to put this all together, she did it generously, lavishly, beautifully. All of us felt taken care of on the deepest and most superficial level as well. It was just a fabulous, fabulous experience.

The retreat was very emotional and amazing. I was able to be extremely vulnerable in a safe place. You make everyone feel loved and respected. You seemed to know just what each of us needed. The connection with all of these women let me know that I am not alone in this world. We all shared so much of the same story. All of the times I thought that it was only me became quite apparent that as women we share similar joys and pain. I learned that I was worthy of having friends and got a lot of support and connection from the women that were there. My favorite moment was being surrounded by all of these amazing women when I needed them the most. I felt connection and belonging. I also loved my sunrise trip to take photos. I was able to spend one on one time with an amazing lady doing something we both love to do. I have felt a very different sense of peace since the retreat. I think letting out all that I did freed up room in my heart and soul to start fresh and to see myself in a more positive way. Cried a lot, but had to, and have a plan of attack now for where I want to go in the next year. Yeah, its was amazing.

The opportunity to connect with Robin and spend a longer period of time was something I was craving. I had an amazing experience, greater than I anticipated, even though I was so anxious and looking forward to it. It was phenomenal and I truly feel like I have made some really deep connections. I'm so looking forward to building a relationship with these women and doing the things that I believe my near future holds. Robin gets credit for that, too.

I loved it! The cabin was so charming, so relaxing, so comfortable and so enjoyable. I would love to take my family back to enjoy it! Getting out into nature, walking and talking, getting to know each other, all while taking fun pictures and laughing together. Great memories! I LOVED all of the food! Eating healthy adds so much to my mental state, so the fact that I didn't feel bad about what I was eating was wonderful. I felt so much peace up there! I liked the length, food, topics.

It was a time of friendship, deep connection, deep reflection and wonderful learning. It was such a wonderful time with an amazing group of ladies and so many magical connections. I loved the time to dig into journaling and you did a fantastic job of facilitating our self discoveries. I also loved going on our lake adventure!
