What Women Say
"Before this retreat, I was always 'on,' constantly juggling work, family, and life’s demands. Soulful Flow & Restore showed me that true rest isn’t indulgence — it’s essential. For the first time in years, I allowed myself to just be. I left feeling lighter, calmer, and more connected to myself than I ever thought possible."
— Clara M.
"I honestly didn’t know how much I would love the crafts! I never realized how grounding it could be to just make things with my hands. Every workshop, was joyful and absorbing. The simplicity of creating something tangible brought me a sense of peace I didn’t know I’d been missing. I felt completely in the moment and proud of everything I created. This retreat reminded me that play and creativity are essential parts of life."
— Erin R.
