Extremely peaceful and restorative. I just recently went through a major life transition and found the land, and the silence, to be healing. Sara has a steady, calm and grounded energy about her. And the food....amazing!

Attended this retreat with my husband for the second time and we cannot say enough how beneficial it was for us to get away from "the world" for a long weekend and just exist in silence amongst other like-minded people who are also working towards healing and peace, not only for ourselves, but for the greater good of all. Sara always holds space in such a kind and gentle way, I respect her so much as both a teacher and practitioner and hope to continue learning from her and practicing alongside her for many years to come. The location this retreat is held is so simple, yet profound. A quaint farmhouse on rolling Appalachian foothills, a kitchen and dining room (with delicious food I was looking forward too again for months!), a nice studio space for yoga and meditation practice, a beautiful spirit house for fire ceremony, welcoming staff, cozy bed, hiking trails, open dark skies, I could go on and on... I would recommend this trip to anyone and everyone with an open mind ready to (infinitely) open their heart.

So, if you're contemplating this transformative journey, trust in the power of manifestation and let Sara's wisdom illuminate your path forward.

This was such an amazing experience! This course really took me into a deeper understanding of yoga, its philosophies, and other branches that connect to it. We had guest teachers that took us through very informative sessions, and Sara was of course very knowledgeable and cared a lot about the students. She made everyone feel welcome and made yoga accessible. I met some wonderful people in the process and got to participate in some amazing discussions. I highly recommend this to anyone who is thinking about obtaining their yoga certification. This was an unforgettable experience that gave me the confidence to teach classes without losing my own personality. Thank you, Sara and your team!

This was a great experience! Sara was excellent, constantly teaching nuances of meditation without using esoteric language. The hatha yoga sessions were great, but might be a bit fast paced for someone unfamiliar with the basic postures. The facilities were located in a beautiful setting, the staff was excellent, and the food was absolutely wonderful. Being silent for a few days was an interesting experience!
