The weekend retreat was exactly what I didn’t know I needed. I walked in anxious and overwhelmed, but the environment Pam created helped me feel comfortable and supported from the moment I arrived. I realized how important mindfulness is and how necessary it is to make time for myself. The retreat helped me tap into that inner peace we all have within us, and I left with a refreshed mindset, feeling empowered to prioritize my mental health and well-being. Plus, I made lasting connections with incredible women who share similar values. I can't recommend this experience enough!

A visit to Good Commons for a retreat was just what I needed. I was physically, mentally, and spiritually depleted. Through daily yoga, meditation, and—most importantly—being in an accepting and encouraging environment, I found peace and clarity. The warmth of smiles when I needed them most, the healing power of music, and the nourishment of wonderful food all worked together to renew my spirit. This weekend wasn’t just a break; it was a turning point that left me feeling reconnected, inspired, and whole. I continue the golden ball imagery (chakras) daily and feel such peace. I am incredibly thankful!

The restorative yoga and follow-up practices during the women’s retreat weekend were deeply transformative, helping me tap into my inner system and gain invaluable insights. The journal prompts, in particular, were eye-opening and allowed me to see how I’ve been building walls around my heart, preventing others from truly seeing me and offering the love I deeply crave. This retreat not only gave me clarity, but also helped me start breaking down those walls and open up to the love and connection I’ve been longing for.

What profoundly supported me in reconnecting with myself during the retreat was being surrounded by like-minded people who truly understood me, allowing me to dive deeper into the healing process. Sharing similar struggles and recognizing patterns in each other served as a powerful mirror, helping me release self-loathing and reclaim self-love. Attending the retreat with a dear friend and witnessing her deserve love, wellness, and serenity opened the door for me to believe that I, too, deserve these things. This experience helped me shift my perspective and embrace the possibility of my own healing.

I attended Pam's Retreat for the very first time 8 years ago. I went without knowing anyone but Pam. It was a huge step in courage. I could not have imagined that I would have gained so much from that experience. So much that I returned every year since! What got me to come back? It was the growth I felt in mind, body and soul. It was the connections to a kindred-spirited collection of amazing women: different in many ways, but alike as well. I highly recommend it for mind, body, soul and taste!

I healed from my heart break and grew to believe in my ability to manifest good things for myself. While I am a continuous work in progress I grew a lot with the community dear to my heart that I got from the retreat. I loved going kayaking, paddle boarding or hikes locally at a nearby lake. Beautiful scenery with amazing people.

This retreat left me feeling re-ignited and cracked wide open in the best possible way.

Between yoga sessions (as a total newbie, I felt completely comfortable and cared for), awe-inspiring food at every meal, and conversations that served as soul-food, it's an experience I'll never forget. There is something truly magical about being among other people, with an unspoken level of trust, vulnerability and understanding, void of any judgment. That was a resounding feeling throughout the retreat, and I'll always cherish the impact of it all!
