Testimonials
“Nature’s Heart was my first meditation retreat and it was a beautiful experience! Justin brought a calm and loving presence to the room and his teachings on self-compassion were very eye opening for me. The retreat gave me many powerful tools to be a more whole, healthy and joyful person by opening my arms to my inner experience and holding myself in compassion. I am grateful for my experience there and hope to attend another retreat soon!”
– Past Participant
“The whole experience was really beautiful. Justin led us through various mindfulness exercises while also encouraging each of us to forge our own unique path of internal reflection and outward curiosity. I felt my energy take a huge leap forward during the retreat. Overall the experience was wonderful; I am definitely interested in a return experience this year!”
