read what some of our recent attendees say about their time at retreat

  • Leaving the Retreat, I felt lighter

    Lighter in body and in mind. I had nervously carved a few days of space in my busy life to be a part of what has truly been a game changer in how I feel and think about myself.

  • What was the most significant thing you took away from the Retreat?

    The feeling of belonging to an amazing group of people and the tools to help me with self-care...that the true essence of life begins and ends with self...the total event has made such a shift in my thinking

  • How will this make a difference in your life?

    Being more mindful, practicing self care....some more tools, feel a real part of the SOS family... given me a reason to get up in the mornings, learning I am not a failure....i WILL follow the advice/info given, I will succeed

  • The best part of the Retreat for you was?

    Head stuff, been blocking and self medicating-not anymore...the whole team working together...the SOS team are and show that they are passionate to see us succeed

  • The worst part of the Retreat for you was?

    Waking up at 6 am!...it ended, it was a fantastic boost...plucking up the courage to go....that the retreat ends today!
