What people are saying
about Polly and Janice's workshops:

“Polly and Janice are superb communicators and healers. At their retreat I learned how to pause, breathe and feel instead of just going at the speed of light and thinking my way through life’s challenges. I learned to trust group process which is something I never thought would happen! I recommend this retreat for anyone who is ready to breathe deeply and connect with herself and other caring women.”

– Kathy LeMay

“The timing and flow of experience seemed magical. I appreciated the openness of each invitation to enter a new space, and the way Janice so clearly modeled, coached, and supported the group. Of course it felt as though only I was moving or voicing, and simultaneously that the universe was doing so.”

–Betsy

“Polly was able to distill what the opposites in each individual’s experience were, like a diamond cutting through a condensed, long-standing, coal formation, without imposing a definition on it.”

–Nancy

“I think what happened for me that weekend is that I got to use another part of my brain for a significant chunk of time. I learned that I can actually just be in an emotional space for more than five minutes at a time, and that I like stories, and that I can move in ways that are unusual for me. Maybe most importantly, the weekend reconnected me to my journal.”

–Rinku Sen

“I loved watching the two of you work together, and off each other. In heart you were together; in style you were so different and yet complementary. You somehow managed to capture both sides of the inner and outer and bring it to a higher place.”

–Harriet

“For me the workshop has always been a chance to enter a different space and see my life and myself from a new place. Silence, solitude, group work, movement, poetry, creative expression, ritual, dreamwork, and dialogue – Polly and Janice weave all these elements into their workshops – truly creating the possibility for a journey of mind, body, and spirit."
