In front of God we are all women and

lovers: open, like flowers, waiting to be

impregnated by the divine

-Rumi-


The practices we shared were powerful but never forceful; performed in a manner that were always loving of oneself, respectful and honoring of others. I felt a great sense of peace at the end of the week despite having ridden some strong waves of emotion that were not always easy. The retreat has given me encouragement, support, material and tools to continue to practice. And...the place chosen for the Yogini retreat is the most beautiful I have ever come across even though I have travelled quite a lot.
