Testimonials

• “This retreat was one of a kind! I initially thought 9 am to 4 pm being too long, but contrally to my initial thought, the day was filled with positive energy and intension. All facilitators and activity leaders were excellent.” ~ Sachiko K.

• “RSC is a loving practice and the gals who shared and presented are kind, passionate, compassionate, and helpful. The day was joyful, informative, and helpful to all who attended. I highly recommend the retreat, especially the RSC plan itself. As an integrated health practitioner I sometimes overlook my own needs while helping others. To receive many of the practices I facilitate rather than give, was a precious gift. They were also good reminders and felt lovely. The creation of the RSC plan to consistently give time to myself feels like just what I need to schedule time in and hold myself accountable. A big hug and deep gratitude to each of the Conscious Caregiver ladies for their open hearted support !” ~ Deborah K.

• “I enjoyed sharing this day with such wonderful encouraging women who reminded us that as women we need take care of ourselves without guilt. We were shown mindful methods of putting a plan together that would be easy to implement and/or adapt as needed into our lives. Thank you for creating such a safe space for me to explore my needs without judgment.”

• “This self care retreat was one of the most beautiful, soul-filled days that I have ever spent. Surrounded by loving women, I received a new perspective on self-care - that it starts from within. The general learning, the practical self-care plans and all of the breakout sessions were filled with joy, and aha-moments and fun! The team at the Center for Conscious Caring worked so hard to give all of us an experience that will last a long time. My heartfelt thanks to everyone for giving us a precious gift of love and caring, filled with smiles!” ~ Marybeth Gregg

• The circle Reiki session that kicked off the retreat set the tone for an incredible day filled with amazing energy and deep healing. Having never experienced Chi Gong before, I was amazed by its power and now want to learn more. The sound bath was beautifully grounding and humming still makes me smile. The Healing Rhythms drumming was truly special, adding another layer of connection and meaning. This retreat as a true gift, and I’m so grateful for the experience. ~ Anne Zuckerman
