"It was all about practicing self-love in every way. Celebrating my (our) inner and outer beauty. My and Julie were amazing spaceholders for us. The fun, joy, dancing and very yummy food combined with inner deep-dive moments where every thought, feeling, and emotion was welcome was so special and healing. The place was also magical for this."
