The Love Thyself retreat

is life changing!

I attended my first women’s retreat in April with Jazz and Karin of Love Thyself Retreat. I am 41 and I have really just begun the dive into self love and what it means to be a woman. This retreat opened so many doors for me. It has been life changing to say the least. I came into the retreat not really having any close relationships with women or any real self love practices. But I left with 13 new sisters who made everyday feel like Christmas morning and new self love practices that I still use to this day. Meeting 13 other incredible women really helped me know that I can feel safe around other women. I can be vulnerable around other women. And women really can love me back and accept me for me. One of the self love practices that I took away from the retreat was 40 days of gratitude. In the past, I was making the practice too difficult, I was over thinking it. Karin was able to give me a different perspective on the practice. I tweaked it and it worked quite well for me. It really opened my eyes to what I have to be grateful for, even if it’s just running water or a washing machine. I was able to walk away from the retreat making a vow to myself that I’d never settle for anything less than I deserve and that I’d always continue to do things that would enrich my soul. I wake up everyday now and go to bed every night with so much love in my heart. I honestly never could say that before this retreat. It’s important to note that both the sleeping arrangements and the food were great! Jazz cooked/prepared everything and it was just amazing! Several of us had food intolerances or sensitivities and I don’t feel like any of us felt like we didn’t have enough options. I am forever grateful for the experience and I look forward to the day that I can attend another one! Thank you Jazz and Karin! Allison

The Love Thyself retreat is life changing! Every activity, decoration, interaction, food, moment was so full of intention and love. It was easy to see that Karin and Jasemin poured their hearts into organizing space for women to feel safe and unconditionally loved in. This made it much easier for me to open my heart to myself and heal. My favorite part of the retreat was feeling connected to myself and the other women on the journey with me. I walked away from the retreat with a deep self love and pure joy and gratitude for connections I made. The retreat center is a beautiful place to slow down and let nature and a group of supportive, incredible women surround you. I would recommend this retreat for EVERY woman!  Mandi

I had an amazing time at the Love Thyself Retreat for Women and cannot recommend it enough! Karin and Jazz created a life-changing weekend filled with opportunities to rest and reflect while teaching us how to love ourselves and nourish our souls. So much love and care went into every last detail.

Held at the Cedar Cross Retreat Center, (a little slice of heaven), 15 women came together and shared their stories in this loving and nonjudgmental place where we were seen and heard, and amazing healing took place. We laughed, we cried, we danced, we rested, we hugged, we created, we ate scrumptious food, we did the work. I left the weekend connected to a group of women that I can truly call sisters, with the knowledge that when we truly love ourselves we can better love each other, and that collectively, that love changes the world. Treat yourself ladies, you will be so glad you did! Pam
