Testimonial for a 2018 participant:
«The retreat was beyond I would say expectations but I really did not have any because I had no idea what Embodying the Elements meant. Boy do I know now. It was day upon day of life affirming practices orchestrated in a way that allowed one to go in as deep as needed to heal to shed layers, to find oneself. Mar de Jade because of the setting promoted authentic engagement with others, fostered meaningful conversations and connections. Shanti and Scott facilitated an amazing week that was so powerful, simply put one of the most amazing weeks of my life.» – Peter 2018 participant
