"The Community Retreat was everything I wanted. I feel more liberated and got to see some things about myself that I only could have seen in this kind of situation - spending a weekend with people committed to seeing the same. Although challenging, I felt that I was able to give myself this experience and that the retreat provided the ideal backdrop. Sam does a masterful job leading and listening and creates the type of environment that you can use to really take some risks and explore new ways of relating. You can’t beat the scenery, thank you....and see you on the next one!" - Adam S.
