CREATIVE ROOTS RETREAT

Kind reflections on Bevie and Gaby's offerings:

“What a special and restorative experience in a beautiful location. I would recommend this retreat to anyone looking for professional and compassionate instructors, out of this world culinary creations made with locally sourced ingredients, and lots of opportunity for reflection, creativity, time in nature, healing, and community, with deep and thoughtful intention put into every part of the retreat. In my experience, wellness retreats/events can get a reputation for being ran sloppily, or behind schedule, or being a little too loose and informal - especially for what you pay for. I'm happy to say, that was not the case with this retreat. Everything was well planned and organized, on schedule without being rushed, and was handled in a professional and intentional manner. I would highly recommend to anyone considering, it was worth every penny and I'd love to attend again.”

The Sedona retreat was absolutely beautiful. It was amazing reconnecting with friends and meeting new ones! Everyone was so sweet and supportive of each other and we all had a great time. The food prepared by Bella was delicious and nourishing. The art and river excursion with Bevie was fun and creative. The yoga and Ayurveda with Gaby was energizing, grounding, and informative. I would definitely go on this retreat again and highly recommend others to do the same!

This was an amazing experience and highly beneficial to my personal yoga practice, creative process and overall wellbeing. Gaby and Bevie were so lovely to learn from and be around. The professional chef, Bella, was also brilliant and the food was so good. The entire event was smooth, with enjoyable organic transitions as well as ample time for socializing and free time. Thanks to all involved, can't wait to do it again.

"The retreat" opened my mind to practicing being calm within the discomfort and savoring the pleasures. The combination of art and yoga played together in the most magical way, and I am forever grateful for this experience.

This retreat was one, that a week and a half later, I am still reflecting on. It was a deep and rich experience that allowed me to freely explore and in some cases validate parts of my "true self," while at the same time providing so much room for growth. Gaby and Bevie very skillfully helped the group meld into a trusting, safe entity. Both women are amazing, down to earth, caring individuals with unique gifts. The yoga, process art, sound bath, aryuvedic teaching, amazing food and last but not least, beautiful people who attended this retreat all helped make it what it was. Thank you so much.

This retreat was the most amazing experience I have ever had in my life. Gaby and Bevie were amazing at helping to create a safe place where a wide variety of us could ground and feel so connected. Bella served the most delicious meals, you could feel the love put into it. It is hard to put into words this amazing experience. I am just beyond grateful I attended.

Gaby and Bevie created a wonderful space for self-expression, nourishment and reflection. The yoga classes were excellent, the art cathartic, and the food delicious. The surrounding landscape just enhanced the experience.

And on process art experiences

"I loved the uninterrupted time to just create, to be with materials and creative beings....the yoga was a safe place to breath, to relax, and to let go.  This was an amazing experience...Inspiring!"

 

"Thank you for such a beautiful retreat experience...This was exactly what I needed in my life right now.  Thank you for providing a beautiful space and nourishment on so many levels."

“I appreciated the encouragement and flow of being able to explore art again, trust myself, follow what came to me and push against what came up.”

 

"It was amazing to get to witness other people’s processes and how it changes through art.  I loved getting to work out more of my creativity and to be provided with a space that has allowed me to do so.”

"Your process painting workshop was like you gave me the keys to unlock the creative part of me again."
