Feedback
"I want to say a big “thank you” for such a great weekend retreat. I certainly enjoyed every aspect of the weekend especially meeting yourself and a lot of new people. I came home feeling very relaxed and happy. Many thanks again for being such an amazing leader." -
Helen Anderson, Mosman NSW
"It was very special time at the retreat and I came away feeling very nourished and calm. The serenity and tranquility of the venue really did add to the experience for me, and I’m so lucky to have had the time to wander around and take in the peace it offered. I really valued our talks too. Your technique of staying in the moment and only doing what you can do and not stressing about the rest, is great to hear. I’m not at all surprised that there are heaps of people wanting to do your classes and go to your retreats. They are so lucky to have you so close at hand."

Thank you Lyn so much for such a lovely week-end. The effort you put in to it all was incredible. I have felt very strong, calm and capable for the last 2 days and have a positive mantra to use based on what I experienced to help me deal with life and the work-a-day world. What a wonderful group it was, just the right size too. I really enjoyed the laughs on Saturday night, something I don't do nearly enough of. Thank-you again for your giving and sharing. Looking forward to seeing you again soon. Hari Om." - Anne Cameron , Brisbane
