"I was looking for new opportunities to learn about intimacy with my wife. We chose this retreat because of the location (i.e., near Joshua Tree), the content, and the Vegan meals. We learned new communication skills that lead to greater intimacy and met amazing individuals also attending. It's a rare thing to attend a retreat with this sensitive topic and meet such wonderful individuals in the process.Starting with Julia and throughout the group, everyone made you feel so comfortable that sharing sensitive (private) details was a lot easier to do and made the experience that much better.Also, having an event cater entirely to our Vegan lifestyle took so much pressure off how comfortable we would be nourishing ourselves for the activities."

"Julia, Thank you for your teaching and leading at the retreat. I deeply appreciated your opennness and honesty and positivity. I also appreciated your frankness with talking about sexuality. You created a special bond with the group. Thank you for encouraging us to push ourselves physically and to express our emotional experiences from the work that we were doing. I don’t want to lose what I learned and experienced. I am trying to be mindful and tantric with my daily routines. And I feel more aware of how important it is to me to have intimacy in my life. I want to create a place where that is possible. I knew this before. But it feels clearer that everyone is allowed to have that in their lives. That sexuality is an important, essential part of human life. I have known a number of people in my lifetime who gave up on that part. They shut it out. I don’t want to be like that. I am still taking in what I experienced at the retreat. Again, I deeply thank you for creating an inviting and trusting environment. I am grateful that I was able to be there and participate. "
