“The Vino & Vinyasa retreat was a delight every step of the way. From the Welcome Dinner and getting to know everyone, to dances around the bonfire, to the final night’s make-your-own-pizza party! Every day got better and better, as I spent time with new people and fell deeper and deeper into relaxation.But most of all, Katie & Amy exemplify all that is lovely, intentional, and fun in this world. Their love of yoga, travel, and each other shines through every day, making the experience so special for everyone. You can tell they work so hard to make everything seem so easy! I loved getting to know them, witnessing their friendship, and learning from them.This retreat gave me the space to relax, to journal, to think, to reflect, to sleep, to set goals… all things that are so hard to do in my daily life. And I love the phenomenon when a group of mostly strangers totally gels and suddenly has inside jokes and a mini-shared-history with each other. Amy & Katie set the foundation for real friendships to emerge.I can’t wait to join another retreat with you!”
“Where do I begin? Soulscape Retreats just goes above and beyond with personal care and concern for each retreater. Katie and Amy plan such robust days for us that allow us to customize our experiences. And if there should be a personal issue they take care of things discretely, never affecting the vibe of the group. Katie and Amy communicate clearly and with great detail to set us up with a week that leaves nothing to chance. We go well-prepared to have a beautiful, relaxing, soul-supporting week that encourages us to meet new people and connect in the best possible ways. Excursions were well-planned and could meet anyone’s needs. Modifying yoga poses throughout the morning and evening yoga sessions was especially appreciated by this seasoned woman and by the beginners as well. I must say “I wish the week were three times as long,” because we were getting into our groove as the week wound down. Everyone should have at least one chance to experience the magic of Soulscape Retreats! ”
“If you are looking for a way to combine traveling the world with refreshing your mind, body & soul, look no further. Katie & Amy put so much love and thought into planning these journeys that you couldn’t want for anything more. You get to experience the most beautiful countries, cultures, people all while deepening your yoga practice. They incorporate yoga flows, sound baths, excursions, free time, delicious meals and more into every day. No detail is spared in their planning, it’s 5 star all the way! And if there is something you don’t want to participate in, there is never any pressure to do so. Going on these retreats also expands your family, because that is what you become to not only them, but the larger group of us that travel with them. Everyone comes from different backgrounds, yet are connected by their love of yoga, travel, and just taking care of one’s self. I have been on 5 retreats with them so far, my 6th coming up soon, and I look forward to what next year will bring.”
“I have attended two Soulscape Retreats led by Amy & Katie. These retreats embody every positive thing I associate with yoga, ultimately love and acceptance of self and others. Being with them is being with someone you know is doing exactly what they are put on this earth to do. At the end of each morning yoga session of the retreat, I found myself enveloped by peace, love, and caring … and yearning to enjoy and create more beauty in the world. I’m truly left wondering can I find a way to start EVERY SINGLE DAY of my life like this?Amy and Katie (and the retreat itself) are the perfect tension of two things in a million different ways. They are amazingly caring and loving, and yet perfectly professional with excellent boundaries. You feel propelled in your yoga practice and 100% supported exactly where you are. The retreat attracts a wide variety of people and yet on the mat, we are all the same and in support of one another. They provide opportunities to explore emotional growth in your life, but it is done in a way that you are in dialogue with yourself.I want to give the highest possible recommendation, but then there might not be enough spots for me to go on the next retreat. Oh well, I have faith that there is enough, and I’d love for others to have this beautiful experience.”
“As someone who has traveled extensively, from India to Japan to Mauritius to Equador to Poland and on and on...I have to say that the Morocco retreat was a travel highlight for me. It was all do to the perfectly curated itinerary by Katie and Amy, with lots of time to explore and adventure in between soulful yoga sessions. I’ve been to many yoga retreats, but this one tops them all. A sincere ‘Shukran’ to the sweet souls that made it all happen. XO”
“The experience gained of traveling to foreign places and diving into unfamiliar cultures is priceless. You learn something about the world and the people on a deeper level. Thank you for the beautiful experience, Bali will forever be a piece of me & every moment was a small piece of an unforgettable adventure. From morning yoga on the deck of the villa to the sunrise volcano hike - words can’t explain how powerfully meaningful this was retreat was to me.”
“Through this retreat I learned that less is more. The Balinese were the kindest people I have ever met. I enjoyed learning about their culture. I learned that it is important for us to take care of not only our bodies but of our spirituality and that it goes hand in hand. What I learned about myself is that I need to let things go and not worry about the things that don’t matter. I am more relaxed and don’t stress as much about little stuff. This trip confirmed that I plan to travel the world more and learn about more cultures.”
“After this retreat I feel lighter and inspired... I see clearer direction in areas where I want to take my life.”
“Everything about our retreat was peaceful and relaxing. I gained even more self awareness, love, and sisterhood. ”
“I can’t really put into words how special this trip was. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart for making it what it was!”
“This retreat offered a great combination between yoga, breath work and meditation. The instructors did an amazing job assessing how we were feeling and adjusting the sessions accordingly. I learned a lot about myself on this trip and how important balance is in life. I can now use the techniques I learned in Bali in my everyday life.”
“Bali was an amazing place, the people were some of the happiest I have ever meet, I wouldn’t have changed anything about the trip, it will always hold a special place in my heart. My co-workers and staff notified a difference in the way I meet all the challenges of a high stress job upon my return. This trip made me take step back and reflect on how I want to spend the next ten years of my career.”
“Every. Single. Day was beautifully planned and filled with memorable experiences. This retreat was nothing short of perfection. I learned so much about myself, my practice, and my new friends. The bond we made on this retreat will last a lifetime. Thank you for organizing such a fun filled week!!!”
“This retreat experience was perfect. I learned a lot about Bali and their Hindu culture, that was great. I did my best to look inward more and meditate more deeply since the jungle environment was so conducive. I didn’t even miss my computer or TV for the 9 days, which was due to the whole wonderful other experiences we were having. I told everyone when I returned that on a scale of 1 to 10, the retreat was 100.”
“From the time the drivers picked us up at the airport until I was dropped off, I felt like a queen. the staff were the kindest, most attentive and anticipated our ever need. The villa itself was stunning. the rooms were immaculate. I loved the beds, the infinity pool and dining areas. The massages were exceptional, meals were delicious and the cappuccinos were soooo good. I loved each yoga and meditation class, they were all perfect! The instructors are so talented and in tune with each yogis needs and the energy of the group.”
“The yoga practices were perfect. Perfectly suited for our mood, energy, and physical need at that moment. Overall a perfect mix of flow, meditation, and restorative. Instructors were open to suggestions and requests. I feel all of the excursions were an added bonus. I did not expect to do as much as we did and it was just the right amount of activity. Not too much but definitely plenty to see and experience. My goal was to go on a yoga retreat to deepen my practice. I did that and so much more. I am taking away the desire to now learn to teach and share with others the wonderful, fulfilling, joyful energy yoga brings us inside and out. I keep saying is “Beyond.” Everything was beyond what I imagined or expected. From the beautiful villa, the kind courteous staff, the fresh delicious food, the experiences in town, the intense but rewarding yoga practices and last but certainly not least, the amazing leaders we had on this incredible journey. ”
