" 3 years ago, I attended a retreat hosted by Shannon.  I wasn't in a good place, did I want to cancel? Absolutely!  Even when I was the first guest to arrive I considered leaving; what was I doing coming to a place with strangers for three days?  Was this really going to help me socialize when I was in such a low point and being shy, quiet, lost, sad and defeated?  The answer; YES!  I had only just met these women and they felt like home.  I found my people.  These beautiful souls have a special place in my heart, my soul sisters; I am forever grateful and thankful for each of you.  I love you all so much, thank you for seeing, hearing and accepting me.  Going to this retreat saved me and is one of the best things I have ever done for myself.  I was not the same person when I left; I was awakened.
