What women are saying about the Lotus Lounge 5-Day Practice Intensive...

"Coming together for the Lotus Lounge five-day events is a truly transformational experience. The five-day format allows us to delve deep into practice and community, creating a rich atmosphere that cultivates true transformation. Practicing with a group of women is such an incredible experience! Beauty, radiance, receptivity, fire, and celebration overflow the space. Its an opportunity to retreat from my daily life and swim in an ocean of devotion: devotion to practice, devotion to the feminine, devotion to my sisters, my calling, and whatever Spirit is inviting me to be. The Lotus Lounge practice community demands a level of willingness and surrender unlike any other. Its crazy fun, but also meaningful and real. Its powerful. its not always easy and it calls me forward to express even more of who I am."

"I arrived at the Lounge open and excited, but also a bit fearful and intimidated by spending five whole days with a group of awesome women. It took but a few moments to settle in to the loving and safe space created by the incredible teachers and staff, and then I was off on the incredible adventure; pulled, stretched, dropped, held, rocked, danced, breathed, and
illuminated. I awoke 5 days later utterly in Love, with myself, my-Self, and everyone else, in disbelief that it was over, wanting more, but knowing thatI was to return back to my life with an incredible gift-a shinier and more whole version of me and connections and memories to last a lifetime. I¹ve been back with my ladies of the Lounge many times since. It's become a love oasis in my life."
