Couldn’t attend- no email response just ignored.
I was t able to attend because I was not feeling well. I had to cancel the day off and wrote a nice email. I understand that since I got sick I wasn’t able to get a refund but literally zero communication. Even in the PayPal payment I had to send a random PayPal number $222 dollars with no personal followup. I highly doubt I will every try them again due to there lack of human communication.

MT Princeton Yoga Retreat
I had the most incredible experience at Bella Retreats at Mt. Princeton! Keri and Amy were phenomenal leaders who created such a welcoming and supportive environment. As a beginner, I found their yoga instruction easy to follow, yet deeply enriching. The sessions left me feeling refreshed and more connected with myself. The food was absolutely amazing—healthy, flavorful, and nourishing. The group of women and men who attended were kind, uplifting, and truly added to the transformative experience. This retreat exceeded all my expectations. I can’t wait to return!

Thank you
I can't speak highly enough of Adam and Una as a team. They are experts in their fields and lead by inspiring guests to relax, have fun and learn Astrology. I'm grateful getting to know so many like-mind like-spirit folk who truly enjoy sharing and being there for one another. I look forward to the next Astrology retreat in Hawaii January 2019. Thanks Bella Retreats!

Feed-back on the Tulum Retreat
The retreat in Tulum was truly amazing. I expected to just do yoga but instead I had a very powerful soul opening experience. The issue with the bugs in the bed helped me realize that in life we sometimes have things that suck our life and love light, it is okay to be uncomfortable and to also change the environment you are in. I know how much comfort and safety are truly important to me. I also was able to asses a lot of internal issues I have from past childhood traumas. I came out with an understanding that we fears that we can address. We all need healing and we all need love. Realizing how broken I am but also knowing that my experiences have made me a more empathetic and compassionate person that I can see the pain and struggle in others without being judgemental and by accepting these things in myself allow me to accept the beautiful flaws in others as well. Through the tears and the laughter I was able to find myself again the beautiful person whom I buried to avoid getting hurt. The most important is self love that I feel I have neglected myself throughout much of my life. The healing sound session was amazing and I felt that the healers were able to open my soul and heart to be able to see what it truly is that is holding me back to be the best person I can possibly be. I am truly grateful and thankful to be able to share my experience even though some of it was quite painful. I feel I came home a better and more open person to be able to continue my path in healing and walk in light and love. I am eternally grateful.
The classes with Shigecko were amazing, heart opening and healing. The activities and writing has gotten my to start writing again as well. I love all of the people I was able to experience this with. Love and light. Morgan
