Excellent as always so glad weather cooperated and so much cooler than year before 👍😊 I had a great time the people were great 👍 food was good sound bath my favorite ❤️ always hard and sad to say goodbye at end of retreat 🙏 felt blissed out on drive home 🧘‍♀️thanks again for great retreat ❤️

I always enjoy this retreat and this year was no exception. Even with my knee injury there was plenty for me to participate in. I loved the sound baths experiences. The time in the room had better sound quality than at the meadow but it was still enjoyable outside as well. Perhaps if Trisha was set up in the middle of the deck the sound would wrap around us more. Still it was very enjoyable and always a highlight of the weekend. Making the mandalas was also very enjoyable. It allowed us to be creative and focused as a group and individually. The diversity in the designs was incredible. I would love to do this activity again. Calvin's presentation on his trip to Bhutan and Tibet was fascinating. I learned so much from his experience and his enthusiasm for those cultures was so evident. All the yoga classes offered differed enough from each other giving me the opportunity to learn from each one from soft and flowing to added physicality with weights to a more challenging class with Calvin. All good! And the food and rooms and location are wonderful. Julianne's attention to details in making this retreat run so well is a testament to her knowledge, organizational skills, and overall generosity and kindness. Cathy (Satya) and Calvin compliment Julianne's skill set to make the weekend relaxing, spiritual, and fun. I look forward to future retreats!

This trip was all I hoped for, and more. Lots of yoga and meditation, lots of time in nature and wonderful food. I would recommend it to all yoga lovers and people seeking the calm of nature and meditation. Julianne, Satya and Calvin are wonderful teachers and their calming presence was appreciated by all!

The yoga and meditation retreat hosted by Julianne Rice was one of the best I've best ever attended. Julianne is a wonderful leader, teacher and facilitator. Plus she invited other teachers, extending our community. The food provided by the Buddhist center was excellent, including delicious vegan and gluten free options. Whatever drives you to attend a retreat, you will get far more than you ever expected from the experience in the Santa Cruz mountains with Julianne.

I wonderful three day oasis with lovely people, movement and down time.
