This was a First Class retreat from start to finish. For 25 years I was a Fortune 500 corporate trainer/executive coach and author. Any Human Resource VP would "beam" at this template. The pre-work was clear, timely, informative and also helped you "pack" for the retreat, as there were may outdoor activities/options. We were beautifully served seven meals and the food was delicious. All during the day drinks and snacks were available. We were housed in theme-like well appointed rooms. The retreat itself was well organized with agendas and used a variety of learning methods. The two leaders, Kristin and Cheryll, were prepared, fun, deep and warm hearted. The group jelled and we learned a ton, laughed alot and tried many new ideas and activities "on for size". We left with personal treasures to incorporate in our lives. The promised post retreat emails with support content arrived as promised. What a total package! Thank you for all the effort to make it appear seamless.

Now....out of my head and into my heart.

We were asked to journal throughout the retreat. Our first entry was to set our intentions for the three days. My major goal was to find new ways to vibrate energy at a HIGHER level MORE of the time. I was the oldest member of the group (most groups...ha) and my hope is to use my days to brighten the world, be more present for my loved ones and feel brave as time passes. As Kristin would say, "raise your base line frequency". Many of the concepts were either new to me or deepened my current knowledge. Through the leaders presentations, personal reflection, group insights, activities and a few tears....I felt my heart and soul open in ways I didn't anticipate. Now I am home and happily using new skills to glow a little brighter and honor my God given days. 

Lastly, the retreat is set in thirteen acres of beauty with a creek running through. We walked in the water, tubed down the creek, sat around a fire pit at night and enjoyed meditative walks.

Absolutely perfect package. Thank you. Anyone shopping for a "gift to give themselves".....this is it! 

I highly recommend attending the Raise Your Energy and Self Awareness Retreat presented by 5DWorks and Bended Corners. It was so amazing to connect with nature and work on bettering myself and becoming more self aware. I left rejuvenated and full of energy that I will carry with me in all areas of my life.

Thank you again for everything! It was so great to see you and the retreat was amazing! Nice work!

The relationships/friendships I built on this retreat will be lasting for sure. Kristin and Cheryll made the atmosphere calm and inviting, perfect for healing and connecting. The gorgeous landscape and river setting made it perfect not only for the events, but for fun shenanigans in the evenings. If self-reflecting, healing, learning, connecting, and building life-long relationships is what you are looking for, this is the retreat for you! You will not be disappointed, you will walk away inspired and refreshed and ready to become the best version of yourself!
