We just got back from our first Ritual & Renewal retreat with Michèle Anne Barocchi and what an incredible time of transformation and growth it was for each on of us! This was a new invitation to focus on true renewal with yoga, breathwork, daily ceremony (cacao, water, fire, altar-making), and some nature and element-focused outings. It is hard to put into words how wonderful the week was!

We just got back from our fire and ice flow retreat in Iceland. This was a special collaboration with Tara Stiles and Mike Taylor of STRALA YOGA exploring this spectacular landscape full of glaciers, geysers, waterfalls, thermal spas, and learning how to find ease and flow in our lives.

Sarah Scarborough of Tea Huntress led retreats in both Morocco and Iceland this spring, and she did it through the lens of her work, which is tea ceremony.

We were fortunate enough to have our first retreat to a new location in January: COSTA RICA! Our guests had amazing things to say about the locale, and we asked our retreat leader Mindy to tell us what her experience was like in this beautiful country.

Our fall Marrakesh retreat just wrapped up recently, and we asked Mindy, our leader for the retreat, if she would tell our readers what her impressions were of the retreat, the location and the overall experience. She wrote from her home in Banff, Canada to fill us in!

Earlier this month we wrapped up a really unique and wonderful time in Venice over our New Year’s retreat - the perfect melding of adventure and tranquility. While it’s true that Venice is a bustling city, full of art and color and life, it’s also true that in winter, it’s incredibly peaceful and quiet. It’s the perfect time to explore and see the city as it’s meant to be seen. And, as we found out, it’s an ideal setting for transitioning out of one year and entering another with clear minds.

We just returned from an amazing retreat on the Amalfi Coast last week - it was our first retreat at this location as it was a special request from a private group. It was a group of friends - many who are past guests, and just a big celebration of life, activities enjoyed together, and a small reunion of sorts.

Well it's spring in full force now and we were so happy to have passed the spring equinox in Morocco this year with two back-to-back retreats which marked EPM's 16th and 17th retreats at Peacock Pavilions in Marrakesh...

We just returned from our last two retreats in Goa, India. It was such a special time in a beautiful location - spent with past guests and new friends...

What a year we had in 2015! I can't believe it's already 2016 and as this year begins the word I find myself most thinking about is GRATITUDE!...

It's been about a month since our FORM+FOCUS retreat in Venice, Italy and so we figured it was about time to share with you some of our memories and experiences from this spectacular week.

At the very end of June we headed to our home-away-from-home of Italy and enjoyed a week among the sunflowers with a fun group! Since many of the guests were Americans, we even celebrated the 4th of July with a private fireworks show put on just for us on the hillsides of Tuscany. Then later in July we returned to the villa in Tuscany for another week of village tours, Italian cuisine, thermal spa visits, and yoga under the Tuscan sun!
