“The Goddess Retreat in Rockport MA was perfect for me because it allowed me to attend a retreat in a nearby location and take time off from my busy life. The women on the retreat were aligned in many ways that included: the love of the beach, the love of yoga at all levels and the desire to be in a small community group sharing and learning from each other. The oceanfront setting for this retreat is absolutely stunning. All night the waves lulled us to sleep and every morning the spectacular sunrise greeted our day. It was a perfect balance of yoga, delicious healthy food, long beach walks and many adventures off site. My favorite day was when we went ocean kayaking after a morning yoga session on the beach and then came home to an amazing fish dinner followed by a fun and light drumming circle. I highly recommend this retreat for anyone looking to relax, connect and recharge.” – Sandy B.
