Participants in prior Living Whole Immersion Retreats have been transformed by the deep, lifelong bonds they developed within themselves and with one another.
I found that Living Whole offers many dimensions for living well in our complex world. I found the retreat transformative in all areas of my life, especially with relationships that had old patterns that needed an update. I realized that the way I was eating was not beneficial for me and nourishing myself with whole, plant-based food during the 6 days gave me a fresh start that I continue to cultivate to this day. Experience the week and see what touches you...
If you are looking for a life-affirming, transformative experience, surrounded by like-minded seekers, supported by excellent, expert facilitators, Living Whole is a wonderful place to begin. The retreat works equally well for couples, families and individuals.
For several years I have been exploring different routes to increasing health and well-being. I had been a smoker for more than 25 years and never came to grips with this bad habit. I was finally able to let go of my addiction to cigarettes, thanks to my experience in Living Whole.
