what an amazing group! this photo captures the retreaters (dan, rhodo, rose, nick, tim, lisa, melissa, suzanne, amanda, beth, nick, me, david) sans tony, amy, and lynette who were out galavanting during photo time. hear some of them share their experience in this weekend's podcast and see my muse below on how to carve out a little space for your own retreat. we laughed until we cried, yogaed until our bums and hamstrings were in shock (4 hours each day), danced, drank caribs and rum punch, basked in the sun, ate amazing local cuisine, meditated, hiked, swam, and spent lots of time connecting within. 5 of the 18 fabulous retreaters made their way to my 6:00 class tonight after rising at 4:30 am DC time this morning. talk about rock stars!
