This retreat was an exploratory, respectful, warm, love-filled, learning, plus more TREAT for my body, mind and soul. I met new friends who lovingly assisted me in all aspects of my daily journey. Dionne put together an agenda of physical exploration (walking, yoga, African dancing, kayaking, and floating) as well as mental exploration (meditation, and group discussions). You must experience for yourself the Kenya morning risings of the sun, feeling the warmth within your entire being, and the night time settings of the glowing moon at the incredible Watamu Treehouse with Dionne Monsanto! I plan on going back with her the next time with others, God willing. See you there, you hear? Btw, a full body massage was also included in the package, that got out out the kinks and knots that I didn't even know where there. lol. Felt so good I had to go back for more.

Every aspect of the retreat was well thought out, planned and executed and truly considerate of each participant's needs and abilities. The location was second to none and about the most unique accommodation I've ever experienced. The B&B location was exceptional and within striking distance of everything we were offered or wanted to do that was not already located on the property. The staff were accommodating, friendly, respectful, professional and highly trained for their specific tasks. Dionne opened the door to new experiences for us all and hosted us with as much love as a Mother Hen. We were all managed, but guided in a way that expressed the regard in which each individual was held. See you next year!!

Dionne's retreat was the perfect blend of relaxation, rejuvenation, reconnection and movement. None of the participants knew one another beforehand but trusted that Dionne would bring together good people and that is exactly how it went! Dionne is caring, vibrant, warm and fun. I would certainly join again!

I had a time of calm contentment, not worrying about what I should be doing or anything else. Dionne & Joanne managed to create a connected space where I felt I was fully present and I could give myself permission to just enjoy & learn from them. Thank you very much & I hope to do it again!

This was such a fantastic session with Joanne and Dionne that left me so beautifully recharged. I had had a terrible backache that's better after the yoga session and what a healing MOMENT!!! I will share the 6th June session widely. Keep doing what you both are doing and what JOY reconnecting with you both. Thank YOU!!! Love xxx Musonda.
