"If something very bad happens in our life a soul can split. Olivia helped me to put these pieces back together and to remember what counts. It was amazing to see and especially to feel how powerful and peaceful at the same time Olivia's charisma is and how she affected our group with her mindset. It just takes your breath away."

"This retreat was a gift to my soul. I was impressed by the way Olivia maintained the flow and presence for the group. The elements of nature and dance helped me to heal wounds and move to the next level of awareness. The connection with the desert projected me into a mystical experience beyond time."

"I really enjoyed being able to connect with the different elements of sun, sea, sand, wind, mountain and desert. This retreat helped me to come into balance - mentally, emotionally and spiritually, and also to release some deep emotions which found their right moment to come out at the retreat."
