Founder's Bruce & Ruth Davis
You have created such a wonderful sanctuary. Thank you for sharing your lovely home. I don't know if words can ever describe how grateful I am for my retreat with you both.
I had no idea what the retreat would bring ! What wonders! And through it all I knew I was truly supported.
Ruth, your beauty, grace and presence were such treats and you are incredibly special to be around. I loved practicing your moving meditation each morning. Every movement was extraordinarily beautiful.
Bruce, I thank you for your guidance, wisdom and words of peace. To feel safe to say whatever I was experiencing or feeling, and be validated was a gift.
You both enabled me to walk away not only having had a very spiritual experience but with treasures to take on my journey.
