Thank you again for your hospitalityWind Spirit -Thank you so much for hosting us! Everyone at Wind Spirit was so giving, caring, and supportive. We so much appreciate that! The food was excellent! I do not even know how to express all my gratitude for the opportunity to host our little retreat in your beautiful paradise.Yulia Goddess Retreat 2018
Dearest All,
I had such a fantastic time and want MORE retreats! As many as possible! I’m being greedy now, but it would be a wonderful thing to do for myself regularly, and to be so close and feel so far away is a real treat! The land and people, energy, and food at Windspirit are beyond fabulous and Joanna sure seems meant to do retreats! in her element! Again! I’ve never taken a class from her oddly enough, and was amazed by her teaching style and presence. So, Windspirit, Joanna, yogis, you have my love and support for energetic expansion in all subjects!
Dr Cindy – Cynthia Gerszewski, DC ..and then I realized that there is no way to happiness, happiness IS the way.
I want to thank everyone for the amazing retreat. I WANT MORE!! The experience over the weekend was profoundly rejuvenating, inspiring, and joyful. The love, generosity and kindness of all of you truly touched my heart and spirit!Thank you Wind Spirit community for sharing your gorgeous light filled land and for amazing food, laughter, and love!
Again, Thank you all for an amazing weekend!
Much Love and Namaste! Alden
