I came to Lori’s wellness retreat excited, expecting slow mornings, nourishing meals, and many good workouts but what unfolded was so much deeper than I could have imagined. The challenge with expectations is that they often trick us into thinking we know what’s coming. But real transformation begins in the unexpected, in the emotional, the uncomfortable, and the vulnerable moments. This retreat held space for all of that. It helped me uncover patterns in how I see myself, and how those perceptions ripple into my relationships with others. In addition, there was Lis, the calming yin to Lori’s vibrant yang. Together, they created such a powerful space for growth, reflection, connection and deep care. I leave this retreat feeling cracked open in the best way, more self-aware, more compassionate, and profoundly grateful. We are always evolving, and this experience reminded me that learning to love ourselves through the process is the real journey. What an incredible experience.

The retreat with Lori was truly a humbling and transformative experience. It struck a beautiful balance between personal reflection and meaningful group outings, allowing space for both solitude and connection. Lori and her team poured an incredible amount of thought, care, and intention into every single detail—from the setting and schedule to the smallest touches that made each moment feel special and purposeful. One of the most powerful aspects of the retreat was the integration of philosophical teachings. The lessons shared were not only well-planned but also deeply relevant, encouraging us to explore ourselves with honesty and compassion. They offered insight, perspective, and gentle challenge in all the right ways, and the way these teachings were woven into the flow of the retreat showed true wisdom and experience. It was clear that every element had been crafted with love and dedication, and none of their hard work went unnoticed. I left feeling grounded, inspired, and incredibly grateful. I truly can’t wait to return next year and continue this journey

It’s evident Lori, you put countless hours in, to ensure that we all had an amazing time. The extra details eg)the bracelets, the mats, the towels (and more)were a pleasant surprise and did not go unnoticed. I loved the delicious food created with love by the family team you selected. You and Liz rocked the Yoga practice and I’m (once again)so happy I experienced the time will everyone. There is so much behind the scenes for such an event to be a success. You knocked it out of the park!

The retreat had so much variety which was great. Work outs, yoga, new activities to get exposed. The organization was top notch, which allowed me to not have to focus on that aspect.
