What to Expect on a Spiritual Retreat

I went to this retreat going in blind, not knowing anyone or having worked with Treasure. I felt called to just go and boy am I glad I did! Treasure and the other women who attended welcomed me with open arms and made me feel so comfortable. This allowed me to go far outside my comfort zone and trust myself to share in deep connection. Treasure was excellent at leading us through some profound inner journeys, She is an amazing teacher with great gifts! The accommodation and food were incredible. The best meals and juices I’ve ever had. Treasure and Kristen brought together a beautiful experience for all the women to energetically come together and co-create. The energy was just right and the intention was pure to feel completely held. Will definitely do this again!!

Working with Keshava has been a complete honor, his ability to create a safe space with with his energy, wisdom, and words allowed me to dive deep into my emotions and work through them. He has a special gift of making people feel seen and heard which in it of itself is extremely healing. He has this innate wisdom that allows him to use his musical gifts to heal aspect within myself that I was once afraid to face. I not only appreciate him for his ability to facilitate as a healer but his genuine friendship and love. I recommend him to anyone who is interested in his type of work. I have done one on one sessions and couples sessions with him and every time I have had deep healing and emotional breakthroughs. I am honored to have crossed paths with him. And highly recommend him to everyone!

The Ananda weekend that I attended with Treasure was transformational. The accommodations were perfect for our group activities and also enough space for alone time for journaling. The house was very welcoming and the beds were more comfortable than what I have at home. Treasure brought a chef on the trip to prepare healthy meals that were also delicious. Every detail of the weekend was planning with personal growth and love in mind. I went into the weekend knowing it was exactly what I needed but not knowing what to expect, having never attended a healing retreat before. I came away with a deeper understanding of my place in the universe and of myself. I experienced deep connection with the other women on the trip and have stayed in touch since our weekend together. Treasure is expert at leading the group and bringing out the best in each person in attendance. I can’t recommend highly enough the Ananda Healing retreat. It’s truly magical!

Keshava met with me one on one and sat with me to listen to me. Then he was able to work with me via Reiki and meditation to allow my attachments to be released. Every time we were through I felt this overwhelming sense of relief and lightness. One of Keshava’s many qualities that I have not found in anyone I have worked with is his ability to listen fully and feel a sense of zero judgment on his part. Kehsava’s knowledge and deep deep understanding of death and dying is unlike anyone or any therapist I have ever found. I have personally referred many of my students and friends to Keshava and they have all been blown away by him as well.

Words could never express my gratitude to have been blessed with such a deeply life-changing experience. The entire weekend was designed to strengthen our connection within ourselves and with each other. Upon arrival, I immediately felt completely cared for and comfortable in the serene location. The food was beyond delicious and prepared so lovingly. I’ve been craving it nonstop ever since I got home.

As a self-proclaimed introvert, I must admit the idea of being on a retreat with people I didn’t know was a bit unnerving at first. I almost always prefer solitude. Plus, my spiritual exploration was in its infancy, and still felt very private. Despite my initial reservations, I knew I didn’t want to feel lost anymore. I certainly did not expect to have been surrounded by such beautiful, like-minded souls. That connection turned out to be one of my most precious take-aways from the entire weekend. The healing energy of the group was the catalyst I desperately needed to reach the next level in my spiritual journey. Any upward trajectory I had already been on was amplified exponentially through this magical experience. After a long weekend of healing spent with such loving & supportive women, I left feeling like I had found what I was looking for.

This experience goes beyond the absolute best gift I could have ever given myself; it continues to grow with each person I’ve encountered since. Even my most skeptical family members can’t help but notice the shift in me through our interactions – which just further validates my experience. I feel a connection to my inner wisdom, and a renewed motivation for life itself. I feel loved. I feel at peace. Thank you, Treasure. You are truly a vehicle for the Divine. This experience was exactly what I didn’t know I needed. I feel completely nourished: mind, body, and soul.
