Reviews

Flourishing Beyond Mastery was an unforgettable experience filled with immersive, nourishing, and transformative moments, meticulously woven together to guide us on a journey of profound self-discovery and growth. It was a masterful blend of education, activities and restorative practices, with every detail carefully crafted to awaken the mind, body, and spirit. Our time included experiential learning, inviting us to step out of our comfort zone, challenge our perceptions, and embrace new ways of being. Whether we were immersing ourselves in the beauty of nature, engaging in thought-provoking discussions, or simply basking in the present moment, I found myself transformed in ways I never thought possible. Amidst the profound growth and transformation, unforgettable community and connection was intentionally created. Surrounded by like-minded individuals, I felt supported, uplifted, and inspired to step into my fullest potential. The bonds forged during our time together were nothing short of magical, leaving an indelible imprint on my heart and soul. This experience was an invitation to embrace the beauty of the journey beyond mastery and to unleash the boundless potential that resides within.

This Sheer JOY yoga retreat was just what I needed. It was a wonderful mix of kundalini yoga, meditations and mantras, sound healing, and personal development sessions on emotions and feelings. We had time to take in the energy of the Pacific Ocean while walking the sandy beach, picking up shells and walking the healing circle. Accommodations were comfortable and clean and the vegetarian meals excellent and tasty! I ended the week feeling renewed, refreshed and ready to return to real life.

The most amazing experience ever ! Yandara Baja is a magical place and perfect location for an emotionally uplifting experience. Peace, tranquility, natural setting, great food, comfortable accommodations, friendly staff. The Enso Sheer Joy learning program by Dori Howard was perfection. It was enjoyable, valuable learnings, beautiful mediations, calming Kundalini yoga practices, spiritual exercises and daily workshops that guided us with deep inner reflections on how to resolve inner conflicts and move toward sheer joy. it was life changing. Dori is amazing. Her peaceful soul and incredible wisdom, knowledge, experience, understanding and insight nurtures a comfortable environment for sharing and growing. I highly recommend this soul-enriching experience.
