Food – amazing! I loved that it was homemade, healthy and took into account any dietary needs. Your communication ahead of time made it evident that you cared about this. Having snacks out all day was very considerate too as well as fruit, breads and muffins for the early risers each morning.
Schedule – was extremely accommodating yet still intentional.The way you went with the vibe of each day, adjusting for weather too made it flow well. I felt that on the days that afternoons were free, people appeared to be very relaxed if they wanted time alone, to go out with the group or stay back at house. I loved that you asked each day for input on what the group wanted, and you were cognizant of observing and offering suggestions. The intentional quiet time to journal and not speak to each other was helpful for reflection.
As a person who spent a career detailing projects, I enjoyed not feeling overly scheduled and just going with the flow all weekend.
The hike and time on the beach was one of my favorite times. The interaction and chatting along the way to and from the water was enjoyable. No one was left out of a conversation and I noticed it switched up between people, even while sitting along the water. The amount of time at the lake wasn’t rushed and was so enjoyable. I spent time walking to the lighthouse with part of the group too which was nice to have that open time to explore.
Andrea’s Biofield tuning – my first exposure to that practice and it was wonderful. Andrea did a great job explaining it and making everyone feel very open to it. The combination with Char blended well. Her genuine desire to share her skills with us came through whether we were in a group, or just talking one on one. I am excited to try that again.
Char – peaceful and yet powerful each time. Even trying the gongs outside last night on the porch was the perfect way to end the weekend. Her willingness to spend a lot of time with her talent over the weekend was warming, and you could also feel how comfortable everyone was with her. Being lined up along the water with her the first night was very moving. Again, I loved the synergy of her and Andrea working together.
Yoga each morning – I appreciated the attention to each of us, the added cues to have us in correct posture and to challenge me. The time I spent honoring myself and just being cognizant of how I moved more than usual was rewarding.
The house – I loved being right on a lake – able to walk the beach, sit outside and just be in the presence of nature – perfect fall weekend even when it was raining.
Even with all of us in the house, everyone was respectful, balanced coordinating shower times, etc. very well. Time spent around the bonfire was fun!
Bonus – getting to see your new retreat house and understand your vision of what it is to become! It felt like a retreat with that location even as it’s being built.
I am sure I forgot a couple things, but I truly loved the retreat, the diversity of the group and the vulnerability that each shared.
Thank you for the opportunity to be part of it! If you have any questions about what I wrote, happy to elaborate.

“Morning yoga on the beach, surfing, and yoga with breathtaking sunsets, the activities were immersive. The energy was phenomenal and transformative. Peggy was an incredible host and every little detail was mind-blowing and took me out of reality – which is where I needed to go! I felt completely relaxed, peaceful, and at home with the wonderful group of people and I can’t wait to attend another Balance Within Retreat. I left balanced, peaceful and happy. I now know how to keep this balance within my world. This retreat was truly life-changing” – Colleen C.
The Balance Within Retreat is transformational. I felt that I went away to a space where I could be still and listen to my truth. I came away feeling awake, refreshed and invigorated.
