I came to this retreat hoping to unburden myself of stress, overthinking and all the ways I manage to get in my own way. I left not only feeling lighter, but also empowered. The practices and exchanges were gentle but transformative, inviting us to go deep inside and connect with our true selves. We released blocks, fears and insecurities and let our life force flow. All of this was made possible by the safe space created by Saskia and Amilde and supported by all the kind souls who formed a welcoming group. We were a mix of personalities, backgrounds, and experience with yoga and meditation, but somehow we became one tribe. We were free to follow our own needs and energy, whether that meant spending the afternoon lying in the sun, journaling or bargaining for crafts in the medina. The villa was truly a paradise, more beautiful than any photo. More than just a break from daily life, this was an extraordinary experience that I will carry with me always.
