“For me, the retreat felt like a new beginning. A starting point to a much deeper realization that there truly are people out there that I can be with in a group and feel comfortable to be myself. I felt like I got practice with balancing the parts of myself when it comes to that. The part of me that feels scared to be around so many different people at once, feeling like I’m not able to contribute, express or feel safe - and the part of me that just wants to have fun and feel free to experience what it’s like to connect with others on a deeper level in a loving like-minded community. I loved the people and how everything just flowed. Having an outline rather than a set schedule. I loved exploring a new place. Learning about the stars, hiking in JT, sitting in the hot tub, my bed was super comfy, painting and dancing was fun. Being able to BREATHE together IN PERSON was the best. Observing and BEing with others in a loving compassionate environment.”

“Such a great retreat. lots of good breathwork sessions. I had never really done deep breath work before but it brought out a lot of good emotions! Andy and Andrea are absolutely wonderful facilitators. they really connect with all the participants!”

“The retreat truly was everything I needed and more. During my time on this retreat I felt so seen, heard, and cared for. The space they provide makes it so easy to feel safe to be myself. These retreats are hard to capture in writing because the feeling of it all is so special and magical it's just hard to put into words. This retreat opened my heart and re-established my connection to the earth. It was so clear the whole time that Andy and Andrea were working with and through mother earth. Their connection with the elements inspires me and their hard work shows. They are such beautiful, sincere, and authentic people who make you feel right at home and always make sure to care for my weird dietary needs. I am so grateful I have had the opportunity to be at two of their retreats. These memories are ones I will never forget. Truly SOUL medicine.”

“My biggest celebration from the retreat was stepping into a whole new level of self-worth. I felt like I could be myself and I felt so much care and support. I have been having less self-judgment and really prioritizing my own energy since being back, and it feels fantastic! My biggest takeaway is that I am worth tending to and it is safe to deepen in relationships that are so beautiful!”

“If you ever have the chance to do breathwork with Andrea and Andy, do yourself a favor and take it! A harmonious balance of masculine and feminine in these master facilitators will take you to a powerful place of your own. And the music playlist was spot on- so clear and cohesive! At their retreat, I felt I could be myself and was accepted for who I am and all I bring. The environment they created naturally fostered a focus on all the great things I have to offer. At the end of the retreat, I felt grounded because of all the focus on body, breath and eating healthy.”

“The retreat was easeful and intentional. Andrea & Andy bring authenticity, play, and joy to the experience! Everything was PERFECT!!!! Since returning home, I have been taking moments of stillness, using movement exercises I learned, letting myself feel everything and expressing it through my body more than I had prior to the retreat!!I had never been to a retreat but I loved it so much, I loved the schedule, having a chef, the house/land was perfect: a good balance of scheduled things/ breathwork sessions and then free time to enjoy just being! You both bring an inviting and connecting energy that helps the group relax and I was able to connect easily with everyone!”

“I am celebrating deep connections and nature based experiential integrations. I love building connection and learning so much from the outdoors <3This was my 3rd Elemental Wellness retreat and I love spending time in with Andrea and Andy. It is such a delight! I loved E V E R Y THING!! I loved the flexibility of structure and integration time. A gift to bee truly present!I live my life through mindfulness and contemplative learnings and it has been excellent to remember that the retreat is not over, it gets to teach me in all of the moments forever. I often resource with moments from past retreats as well, and I can always return to my breath and to nature to remind me.I had such a joyful time. Getting to spend quality time with people and the breath really allows for so much present moment magic to come through. I am so thankful to have been there and learn about Maine in a more intimate way! Travel also expands me so much to where I am going, where I have been and what is here. I absolutely loved the community, the nourishment and the trust that is built and fostered to go deep and to remember who we truly are!! I felt held and seen and loved and it. SO LOVELY that we get to experience it ALL! Thank you for everything <3”

“The retreat experience reminded me through expanded awareness that feeling deeply is not a curse but rather a gift to be nurtured and treated with reverence. I have shut out feeling deeply because it has always felt scary to me. The discussions, conversations, guidance from the retreat showed me that I have the capacity to feel deeply and it is an honor to do so. It was enjoyable from the moment of arrival throughout. I enjoyed the depth of conversations between like-minded souls. Since returning home, I have been spending more time in nature and have been treating my body as my earth- being mindful of what I choose to nourish myself with. It was a dream come true and I am eager to be with them again at another retreat.”
