Spring Renewal Retreat May 6-8

Thank you so much for the retreat. I loved it. Light and Space holds stories, wisdom, opportunity, joy, calm, a sense of community—it’s a container that gives off an anything goes vibe without feeling even slightly unhinged. It’s utterly authentic and welcoming. ~ Sarah Chouinard (Winter Reset ‘26)
