“Attending the AIR Retreat was an experience of a lifetime. It was the best thing I have ever done for myself, and it was a wonderful 50 th birthday gift to myself. To top it off, I got to spend it with my friend since kindergarten. Two things made the retreat so impactful for me. First, it was so well curated. It was not just that the wellness activities truly induced wellness, but it was also that the collective group was so well curated, producing a level of synergy and safety I have never before experienced with another group of women. And the location in Cambutal, Los Santos, Panama made that strategic curation magical…surreal…and ultimately life-altering. So much creative energy was re-ignited within me, and I have paintings I completed there to prove it. I felt free to present and embrace all parts of me during the retreat. I tried things I am surprised I did. I discovered that when led by a truly holistic and culturally-attuned yoga instructor that I really like yoga. I like it so much that I am turning a large room in my house into a wellness studio. I had a hard time accepting my friend’s invitation to join her. I am an introvert who has struggled with anxiety for the past decade, so being in a remote location that takes six hours to get to and with a group of strangers raised many red flags for me. I am so happy I listened to my husband and friends who supported me in getting over my fear because the AIR Retreat was the safest space I can ever recall being in. Everything I did was for myself, and I only did what I wanted to do for an entire week. I cannot remember the last time that was the case or if I have ever spent a week just focused on me. It was a phenomenal week.”

As a mom of two young children and a recent widow, I was really nervous about leaving them for this long but it was exactly what I needed plus more. There was so much thought and intention put into this retreat that I didn’t even feel the need to over prepare or research what would be happening. I felt safe, welcomed and cared for and my soul really needed that. Not only was the programming amazing, the retreat location, staff and food were phenomenal. You could sense a genuine love and care for the work they were doing. I look forward to witnessing the impact this retreat will have over my life long-term and highly recommend it.”
