“The Retreat and Renewal program helped me reconnect with yoga and meditation in a meaningful and heartfelt way and, moving forward, I plan to keep up both practices on my own. The program facilitators were wonderful, the land was so tranquil and beautiful, and the food was delicious and nourishing. We plan to make visiting DMC an annual ritual from now on.”
