This was an outstanding experience. Khristine was on top of her game with arranging accommodations, scheduling our yoga practices, and making sure everyone was enjoying their time. I got to meet a ton of great new people that I look forward to catching up with again soon. The food was amazingly delicious and healthy (except maybe the pancakes; SO delicious they couldn't possibly be healthy...) And they made specially formulated variations of the main dishes for the handful of vegans and gluten-free folks in our group.
The staff at Land of the Medicine Buddha treat visitors like residents with their open-door policy on the meditation room (beautiful!), dining room/snacks and huge library of literature. The hiking opportunities in the gorgeous redwoods were out of this world. I regret not having more time to immerse and enjoy everything about this place!
I never did make it to the sauna or pool, but that's just one of many things to look forward to next year. Thanks, Khristine, and everyone at LMB for an enriching and focused retreat!
