Light of

Grace

Lauren’s Rediscovery retreat was

MAGIC. Lauren held a beautiful

sacred container for love, joy and

connection. I came home with

renewed energy, new friendships,

and felt more deeply connected

to my spirit. I also had a dramatic

improvement in my foot which was

healing from a previous injury! The

schedule had such a great balance of

time in nature, time in connection,

and also time to receive nourishing

treatments, reflect and integrate. I

highly recommend this experience.

It’s a sacred gift to give yourself :)

Dana - June 2021

If you’re lucky enough to be invited

to one of Lauren’s retreats, jump at

the opportunity! Her retreats are

filled with light, love, and hope!

Such an enriching, rejuvenating,

and delightful time! From the

accommodations to the delicious

organic food to the soul connections,

it’s truly a not-to-miss experience.

Cary R - Oct 2023

The women’s retreat in Sedona

was one of my favorite events I’ve

ever attended. It was super sweet,

empowering, uplifting, entertaining

and so nice to be surrounded by

positive feminine energy!
