I almost didn't go! Despite my continued hesitation I listened to my heart. Well thank God I did go, because in less than 48 hours, I grew significantly as a person and completely shifted perspectives. I am literally a different person in the same body.

Before Syd even said anything, her presence put me at ease, made me feel welcome, and opened my heart. She is so genuine, uplifting, and open hearted, and she makes each student feel so special. Her enthusiasm about yoga is infectious, and I loved her explanations for the origins of some of the practices and translation of the mantras.

I am so grateful for the conscious community Sydney has brought together! I acknowledged parts of myself I've closed off or have been hiding from. I know I am light but I've been afraid of my dark. This retreat made me realize I have nothing to be afraid of. I can be fearless. I feel confident to have found a community that truly supports one another.

I began to realize that my self expression would be my creativity and my presence alone was enough. The Retreat was one of the most unique experiences of my life where after one weekend, it wasn’t weird to tell one another “I love you”. These friends are people who I truly cherish in my life
