“I was surprised that the process of playing in a safe environment with no judgement about how I moved, wrote, painted or sang created an opening of my soul that has been dormant for a long time. Each activity was introduced with passion and fluidity that was absolutely brilliant. I hope you make this an annual event. I feel renewed and inspired to write the following.”

“The Replay Retreat was one of the best retreats I have ever taken. The setting and environment were beautiful, the food delicious and plentiful and my room in the farmhouse comfortable. I enjoyed the presentations on writing our story, group work, dancing, singing, the wigs and games we played. I also enjoyed painting and making a vision board.”
