Retreat Testimonials…
This retreat helps you move through or learn to move through issues you may be stuck in ~ I for one have trust issues, meaning trusting that I am loved, can be loved and am loving. Some people refer to one exercise as a human basket and I was one of those chosen to be supported in this human basket ~ I had to trust that those who had chosen to support me would be able to hold me as I was in the basket. I had to let go and fully surrender my trust to them to fully feel being loved and allowing those to fully love me ~ Releasing and letting others love me is a big issue for me and this experience was remarkable. I did let go and allowed the love to come into my heart. I stayed in my heart and allowed the love to flow. Listening to Spirit to let go and let others love you was so powerful. I know now I have to stay open and receptive to allowing others to love me! Thank you for creating this sacred space! DM
The Communication exercise at the retreat allows you to tell 2 people face to face how they have affected you. WOW! That was an amazing experience of talking, realizing and emotionally expressing.

There aren’t words for the unconditional love and support that presented themselves these past 4 days. Thank you Great Spirit for my new found family. I will treasure this time always. Thanks Sunny- for being the flute through which Spirit’s breath played. You truly are an instrument of peace. MC
This experience has been full of surprises, wonderful accomplishments, being scared and sharing with others and being honest with myself. The warmth of others, the support and love received was overwhelming, but needed and wanted. My experience here involving the death of my mother still has me baffled. It was a true release of grief and an acknowledgement to my loss of her.

Incredible-
Time after time I gained insight on issues and how to work them out. But being able to trust was an eye opening unforgettable experience that still brings tears to my eyes. Tears of gratitude – Tears of acceptance. The release was powerful and I’ll never forget my support team. And if I ever go south I have this memory to bring me to my space. It made me realize we have support when we open up to receiving.
What a truly incredible life-changing journey! Namaste` AL
The spiritual connections were amazing. I connected with my Mom easily and frequently. I t was a great feeling. It’s like meeting a group of long lost friends ~ many strangers, but once you start talking you discover many commonalities. I want to keep in touch with everyone. LD
It was good- now I am better. My heart is full of Love and Joy. I will be sad to leave the beautiful spirits I embraced. KT
An amazing journey that was well needed for this time in my life. Being a shy, introverted person has been my way of dealing with groups of new people; attending this retreat not only taught me how to honor myself, but not to be afraid of who I am becoming. I have known from a young age that I was blessed with the gift of intuition. Sunny’s retreat not only validated what I already knew, but taught me new skills to help me reach a place of higher self. Thank you to all who shared and gave of themselves this weekend. My life is forever better, changed because of you: KK
