Glowing Review for Lisa’s retreats

 
The Tuscany Meditation and Yoga Retreat was a truly rejuvenating experience. The peaceful setting and like-minded community created the perfect space to slow down and reconnect. Lisa’s guided meditations were deeply grounding, and the yoga sessions were thoughtfully led, supporting all levels. A journaling class added another layer of mindfulness, making the retreat even more enriching. I returned home feeling calm, refreshed, and recharged. It was absolutely worth it, and I can’t wait for the next one!
