Words from our Mother's Day retreat at Fox Harb'r Resort...
What an amazing weekend! Every detail was thought through. Loved every minute, thank you and Chantel for organizing it. It really was money and time well spent. A perfect opportunity to connect with girlfriends, have many laughs in a beautiful setting!
Thank you again and definitely a 10 out of 10+++ for me!! - Jocelyne
Thanks so much for organizing this retreat weekend! It’s exactly what I needed after 18 months of motherhood and not doing much for myself during that time. I would love to make it a yearly tradition. It was great meeting you and I’m sure I’ll see you at the studio one of these days! Looking forward to making Anne’s trail mix bars as well! - Jenna
Words from our retreat at the Mill River Resort.... What can you share with us about how you felt on your way home? To us this is always telling of the experience as a whole.
I had a renewed sense of community. Personally, I had made a commitment to myself to get to know more people who were likeminded and start to foster deeper connections with others. I found a little crew of girls who really sparked that, and I was so happy to have come- even though I was super nervous on the drive up.
The differences between the 2 drives were amazing! I truly felt I did a lot of growth and healing, and it gave me strength to head into Fall with a calm and serene sense of happiness, focus, and direction. - Melissa
