“The positive vibes from you both and the manakitanga (Hospitality, sharing and welcoming) was amazing. Whilst each participant was on their own journey and clearly took something special from the retreat, my inner space and heart was warmed by the, kotahitanga – solidarity, unity and togetherness of all participants (and so early on too !). So keep on doing what you love and love what you do!”

“I am hugely grateful to Matt & Marie for an incredibly supporting, nurturing, expansive & enjoyable retreat and for bringing us to such a beautiful resort. As we start turning our minds to heading back to our day to day lives, I choose to use the memory of this time to sustain me and remind me that we have everything we need inside us and to always relax and trust as we observe the releases in our lives.

I must also complement Matt & Marie on their organisation; everything was arranged and set up, from the meals to the outings, so that all we had to do was turn up and focus on our own growth and development. Working with Matt & Marie is something extraordinary. I can’t wait to go on another retreat.”

“The retreat in Bali with Matt & Marie and our group is an experience I won’t forget for 2 Reasons:

#1-Paradise.  From the breath-taking views at our lodge, a magical waterfall experience, a very powerful and palpable water cleaning ceremony, to some of the most incredible food I’ve ever tasted, we were soaking in high vibrations the whole time, which allowed for even intense and powerful daily energies to become integrated with ease and grace.

#2- Arriving at the retreat I felt burned out, lacking passion for what I did, and unclear of how to move forward in my relationship and career. A mere week later I left the retreat feeling incredibly empowered, supported and confident in moving forward.  

Even now, about a month later I’m finding that money and clients are flowing to me nicely, I am excited about “putting myself out there”, feel connected and aligned with my passion and my relationship with my partner has opened up to a surprisingly new level of growth and intimacy. Thank you, Matt & Marie for inspiring and empowering me to live a life of balance, space and allowance for all of these wonderful things to unfold.”

“I have been fortunate enough to participate in three retreats facilitated by Marie and Matt, with a fourth scheduled for Spring 2018!

Marie and Matt take care of everything so that as participants all we need to focus on is showing up and doing our personal work. Beyond the amazing food, thoughtful accommodation, and incredible activities/adventures, Marie and Matt create and hold a beautiful space that facilitates positive transformation. Their experience in yoga, meditation, and facilitating transformation creates a safe environment that allows participants to honour their true selves and really retreat from the world outside.

I have attended these retreats alongside my partner and the retreats have supported us on our journeys as individuals and as a couple. The benefits endure well beyond the retreats themselves and we will continue to attend retreats where we can to continue our learning and growing”.

“One of the best experiences I’ve ever had once again – thank you so much to everyone – felt sadness but joy watching the video, as I want to be there again – loved the peace & tranquillity, you don’t realise how much you need a weekend like this until you experience it – it is a must!”

“I just wanted to say thanks for all the care and thought you put into the retreat. There is so much going on behind the scenes to create what you create, let alone all the actual sessions. The yoga, the meditation sessions, listening session, sound, art therapy all amazing and we were so lucky to experience all this.”

“It was an extraordinary experience for me to be on a retreat led so effectively by a married couple.  The “I couldn’t imagine a better way to start school holidays…. ditching busy family demands to spend some quality time on ME! This very special time (surrounded by some pretty amazing humans!) was soul cleansing. It has given me a clear head and a new appreciation of what is important to me. Feeling relaxed yet completely energised and ready to tackle a much more positive future. It’s now time to get rid of some of the old and embrace everything new that comes my way…”

“Thank you so much to Marie and the team you all stand out as one. The way you supported each other as well as us was outstanding. As always it is by our actions, our true values are shown. Thank you all for a very special time.”

“We wanted to give you some feedback from our point of view relating to the Bali Retreat. We both have come back totally rejuvenated and in a very relaxed state after attending the retreat. Marie, you obviously put a lot into getting the programme together to suit everyone. We thank you for that, and for your efforts with listening to individuals and taking on board everyone’s needs”

“My bed is made everyday, my buffet meals cooked for me, my room cleaned for me, days planned for me, transport arranged for me, and even fancy pics/vids done for me. All I need to do is unwind and chill.”

“What an incredible experience – breath taking views, warm waters, fantastic healthy food, friendly crew, and the retreat was held with the most care and fabulous attention to detail! Super grateful and 100% recommend! Oh, did I mention the orca’s that graced us with their presence! Magical!”

“I did this retreat because I did it a year ago with a couple of friends. It was so good that when I heard Marie and Matt were going to run another one, I WAS IN! Not once did I regret my decision, I thought it might be hard to regain the magic from the first experience, but I have to say, it was as good and in some ways better, and absolutely magical for the rest! A container to find or be yourself!”
