It was a truly amazing experience on so many levels. Cole and Kimberly are more than yoga instructors - they are magical human beings that created and delivered wonderful experience to everyone and guided the group through the Heart practices. The morning yoga sessions with the sun rising above the mountains were very special and will stay with me forever. I found Paul's mediation and Michelle's breathwork sessions positively surprising and they complemented work we've done on and off the yoga matt wonderfully. We had great excursions and the gratitude session at the big Buddha statute at the sunset was a pure magic. The Mala Dhara resort is simply beautiful and so peaceful and relaxing. The vegan food was delicious, vibrant and full of flavour. Signing up for that retreat was the best decision I've made in 2023.

The Hearth Practices yoga and meditation retreat was a beautiful week in a stunning location with lovely people.

A Glowing Review of Cole's Recovery Program Cole is an extraordinary human with a trifecta of talent, intelligence, and wisdom that she shares with the world through her teachings and yoga offerings. Personally, I am forever grateful for her prolific contributions to the recovery community, as they have made a profound impact on my life. Cole has a gift for exploring the diverse recovery landscape and helping her students navigate through both the treacherous and glorious terrain by providing tools, empathy, and support. Her ability to be vulnerable and share her own trials and tribulations keep Emerge real, where participants feel safe enough to say, "Me too!" Cole’s conscientious delivery of important and sometimes difficult material is dotted with perfectly timed humor and anecdotes. She has a profound sense of knowing when to dig deeper and when to simply pause, put her hands to her heart while exhaling, and saying "Whoosh!" because there really is no other word at that sacred and critical moment. And most importantly, we really are not alone. Cole extends a private Facebook group to alumni to stay in touch and continue to connect, support, and love on one another after the program ends. For anyone who is sober curious, sober serious, or sober—anyone really, who wants to take their life to the next level and experience more freedom, understanding, and resilience, I highly recommend Emerge. Cole and her guest facilitators delivered a program that is par excellence and far exceeded my expectations. Big love right back at you Cole! ~ Jami Hanna
