"Before I attended the Ocean Retreat last fall I was feeling very depleted in energy, wasn't sleeping much, and feeling frustrated with the direction of my life. Rena's retreat was a savior in changing my whole outlook and perspective! Not only was I in the company of great women but I reaped the positive benefits of doing something healthy for myself! Afterwards, I felt like screaming those magical words "I am woman, hear me roar!" A year later I am still living off the great magic of that weekend and have chosen to attend another retreat this year. I fully recommend this time for yourself if you need a time to replenish, learn something new about yourself, or just need time to relax and enjoy. I promise you will not be disappointed."  ~Ann-Marie Ramsey, Human Resources-Recruiter, Portland, OR Yoga on the Beach (photo by Goddess Julia Hughes) Imagine ...
