Anna

Felt very protected and safe throughout the entire weekend; never felt so loved and cherished

Kylie personifies safety and well-being… it’s why I came.

[Taking away] Intentional living; power of ritual; slowing down

This is a reset to begin again; if you need time and space to reconnect with yourself, I have never felt so loved and precious.

A beautiful experience.
