Kimberly says, "I arrived with so much confusion in my mind, and uncertain of my marriage, as well as dealing with grief from losing my father. I was nervous upon arrival, never having been to something like this, but I knew it was because I was going to experience "something" and boy, did I ever! The facility is beautiful, the food was unforgettable (sincerely) and the guests become like family." See more

Julian says, "The Haven is beautifully set on the waterfront on Gabriola Island. I wasn't sure what to expect at this workshop.

What I found was a very safe space to explore making all kinds of sound from humming and babble to overtone chanting and yes." See more

Natalie says, " Hollyhock's virtual Activate Summit was a much needed breathe of fresh air. The program gave me the chance to harvest and claim the long-forgotten power I have within, and the opportunity to connect with like-minded leaders to emerge - as an individual and as part of a community - able to shape the future, inwards out."
