"The women are inspiring and feel like long-time friends. There is a comfort in our silence, yet the conversations flow as we walk, the groups split up and reform with different people, and there is a beauty in knowing their stories, their fears, their courage. I laughed so hard I cried. I celebrated story wins. I applauded those getting back to their stories. And I just absorbed this wonderful opportunity for all it’s worth."

"How do I synthesise the educational sessions, the mindset development, the hours of laughing so hard that my cheeks hurt, the beautiful city? The incredible friendships that grew from the trust and care we already shared? It was everything I hoped for and far, far more."

"At the retreat, the "it's just us" vibe was present from the second we arrived. Ten women from five countries, who had never met in person, sharing a house for 4 days, and it was as comfortable as walking in my own front door and sitting down to chat with people I'd known forever. The bonding started from our first hugs at the airport and only got stronger from there. I spent the whole retreat thinking, "THIS is my place. THESE are my people." And for someone who has spent a lot of her life feeling like she lived on the fringes most of the time, I can't tell you how beautiful that was."
