I won't be able to make it due to returning from France at that time, but I highly encourage anyone else who is interested to check out this retreat. I've attended 3 times, and each time has been highly rewarding. It's a special place, and Kami is a super-special person. Take advantage.

Thank you, Kami, for continuing to carry the torch and light the way.

Thank you, Kami for hosting such lovely retreat. It was a pleasure to meet you after all these years. The gorgeous and peaceful property was icing on the cake.

Your presence and knowledge is a gift. David's stillness spoke throughout the weekend. It brought me to tears many times
David and you nicely complement each other like I mentioned in the retreat.

Eileen's Asana and angelic touch.

The love and openness of heal your heart ladies and gentleman was touching. Everyone taught me something. Each person reflected the nine Samyama sutras.

I haven't cried and laughed so much, three days in a row. The Unity of the group was felt strongly- Silence and Ecstatic bliss was palpable.

The light in me bows to the light in you.

And ofcourse Yogani the legend. Your Love and Humility bring tears of joy every time I think of you. I can never thank you enough.

Are there plans in the works for 2019? I want to put it on my calendar!

I can't believe I've missed it all these years.
