I had the pleasure of attending "The Joy Retreat" in late March 2025, and it proved to be a fantastic investment and an unforgettable experience.
Lizzy is incredibly supportive and knowledgeable- before, during, and after the retreat. She guided the group through practices that helped quiet the mind and encouraged us to connect physically, mentally, and emotionally individually. Costa Rica was the perfect location for "The Joy Retreat" and the retreat's accommodations, activities, delicious and meticulously crafted food and beverages all contributed to the overall sense of tranquility and rejuvenation
I left feeling refreshed, re-energized, and with a renewed sense of purpose and understanding of the role and importance joy plays in life.
