"What a wonderful reminder that we're one family; thank you for creating the space to offer support and to be supported in such a beautiful way!!!" —Jen


"Shedding your daily life and giving yourself completely to an experience like this retreat really allows for growth of mind, body, and spirit in a way that can't be achieved in smaller dose settings." —Chris


"On LTL retreats, I have experienced applying tools for conscious living all day long - it has been a great gift to learn from exceptional teachers, many of whom you will meet as fellow students in other class sessions.  This experience will have a sustainable effect on my life, as I know I can implement these tools into my daily routine - effortlessly and naturally.  Thank you." —Daniela

"This retreat was perfect - I received exactly what I needed.  The retreat was a great time to appreciate where I am currently at, and I am truly grateful to everyone who made it possible." —Cheryl


"Yoga, meditation, chi-kung, bodywork, and Karma Moffett's Tibetan Bell Experience; the Growing Gratitude Retreat was a cornucopia of mindfulness practices - what an experience!" —Jan


"My gratitude goes out to Learning To Listen and its teachers for an amazing opportunity to be in nature, to further my practice of yoga, and to continue my growth of living a conscious and mindful life." —Anonymous


"This was my second LTL Retreat.  Just like the 'summer solstice', something definitely shifted within me, sending me deeper into my practice.  Karma Moffett was the highlight of the retreat for me; and although we were not joined by LTL regular teachers Darshana and Maya in the kitchen, Sequoia Retreat's food was quite good.  I highly recommend taking part in LTL's future retreats if you have the opportunity.  Thank you LTL; peace, love, and happiness." —James


"May the peace and love at these mountains stay with each of us forever.  May also these retreats awaken and fulfill your heart and life." —Tania

"I just wanted to thank you for the amazing retreat.  The quality of the presenters was top notch, and I enjoyed the variety of activities; I enjoyed going from qi gong to vinyasa, then the next day going from kundalini yoga to qi gong (with a quick massage in between).  The restorative yoga was perfect in that I felt safely held by the teacher's presence.  The whole weekend left my body feeling relaxed.  Spiritually I felt elevated & supported by my fellow retreat friends.  The sacred space we created was a wonderful time to just "be", and I never felt the need to be anything but myself.  Actually, everything was perfect.  I also loved the food and the cooking class.  I woke up on Monday morning missing my meditation family.  Thanks for the efforts in creating this community." —Paul


"At the end of the retreat, I felt full of life, love, emotion, and wonderful food.  Thank you again Learning To Listen." —Kristin


"Based on pre-retreat and registration related interactions, I knew the retreat would be unique and it certainly exceeded any preconceived expectations I might have had.  It was both a rejuvenating retreat as well as a challenging spiritual experience, one that expanded body, mind and spirit.  Each teacher contributed something unique and integral to the whole of the weekend, and the wide variety of teachings (tai-chi, yoga, meditation, kundalini, nutrition/nourishment) provided an opportunity to explore and find new places to connect.  My intention in going was to deepen my practice through connecting with others and new experience; since returning, not only has that happened, but I have made more space and time in my life to continue the practices I learned on retreat and to integrate the experience in ways that are both expected and surprising.  I feel blessed to have discovered such a lovely group of people, and I can't wait for the next retreat." —Liane

"I came to the retreat wanting time and space to just 'be'.  This retreat gave me exactly that." —Anonymous


"I loved the mood and atmosphere Jonathan and Jen set.  They are ever-present, kind and very real, and truly encourage each person to shine.  This has been a renewing and uplifting weekend." —Anonymous


“This retreat is great for both beginning and experienced meditation students who are looking to relax, rejuvenate, and find new expressions of consciousness for their everyday lives." —Marcia


"This Learning To Listen retreat was deeply rejuvenating.  I'm coming back." —Kristen


"My weekend was just magical.  I loved the open, supportive environment.  It was not dogmatic or one 'right approach' to the yogic life.  Rather, it opened us to the many tools and methods we can use to support our own personal path of opening.  Thank you for including me!  I hope to be part of this community again." —Julie


"On the Learning To Listen retreat a community and intimacy was created - there was opportunity to listen and share which made the experience not only amazing, but supportive as well.  The retreat brought together such a wonderful, creative and diverse community.  It was truly thrilling." —Kirthi
