  • Birds chirping, sun shining overhead, beautifully kind people, nourishing food. These are just some highlights of this restful & rejuvenating weekend with Suzanne. The ongoing challenge to slow down; check in with myself will always be there, but Suzanne gave me the key to the portal where I can access myself in blissful states of yoga & meditation.
