TESTIMONIALS from past retreats:
“My overall experience was truly incredible. Scott and Shanti, you are amazing!! I felt welcome immediately, even though I didn’t know anyone or even what Kirtan was. I came in to the retreat feeling the weight of loss, grief, and confusion, and I left feeling more connected to myself, to everyone on the retreat, and to everything alive than I knew was possible. So much joy, wonder, and clarity.” – Laura H. ’21
“I loved having time to connect with the earth, the air, the water and the fire in so many incredible ways. Every piece of this retreat had magic and meaning for me. Can’t wait to return. Mar de Jade was the best resort! The staff was so warm and friendly, the food was incredible. I enjoyed everything about it and LOVE how they are giving back to the local community!” – Jeanne Burke ‘21
“My experience was transformational, inspiring and a complete reset for my nervous system. Mar de Jade is a magical place that lends itself to the energetic work we did during our sessions everyday, and Scott and Shanti did a beautiful job of holding a loving container. I recommend this experience and retreat from the bottom of my heart – it’s truly an incredible week.” – Dottie ‘18
