Testimonials

  • "When I arrived I was excited and anxious at the same time. It was my first ever retreat with total strangers, so I didn't know what to expect, who to expect. But as soon as I saw the venue and then the room, I knew that if nothing else, I will spend amazing few days. Leaving was sad, as I wanted it to last more. Spend more time and dig deeper into my soul. I felt as a new person, ready to continue what we started at the retreat. Spending 4 days with strangers, opening up, speaking about personal struggles? Sounds awful! But then I went and it turned out those strangers are the most accepting, open and caring people ever. That opening up can be very liberating and listening to others opening up can make me feel I am not alone. The location being so beautiful, in the middle of nature only helps to clean the mind and disconnect from every day, instead connected with mother nature and my inner self. Personal chef and her fabulous ideas fed mind, soul and body; I miss her still Of course the whole organisation and schedule by Jake and Simone was so carefully curated and led. So gentle and encouraging. I feel very emotional just thinking about those days. It changed my life."

  • “I was feeling really lost when I first arrived at the retreat. I hadn’t felt like myself for the past few months and I was struggling to find the motivation to move past my recent breakup, even though I really wanted to. I felt like I did a complete 180 after the retreat, I had so much more love for myself and I was actually excited to get back to my normal life so I could start integrating everything I learned. If you’re on the fence about whether you should sign up for a Show Up retreat, don’t think about it for a minute longer. Sometimes it’s these split second decisions that can have the most impact on our lives. Whether it’s escaping the busy city, being in nature, connecting with likeminded individuals, joining a community, or working towards being the best version of yourself - whatever your reason is for signing up, you’ll get everything you’re looking for and much, much more. While I was sad as the retreat was coming to an end, I surprised myself with the renewed sense of confidence and excitement I was feeling to get back to my normal life and integrate everything I learned."

  • "A journey of self-love, self-exploration, healing and growing. A beautiful opportunity to build a community of like-minded women, to laugh, to cry, and to learn. Something everyone should do at least once in a lifetime - I'm committed to making it an annual tradition. When I arrived at the retreat I was feeling lonely and sometimes small. Bloom taught me to unapologetically let myself be big! I couldn't have imagined a better experience. It was magical."

    Laura

  • "When I arrived at Reset I felt a bit stressed and I realised that I was avoiding certain topics in my life. Now I feel like I have gained confidence and peace knowing that I don’t have to hide myself or my needs and desires, knowing that I can own who I am and meet others as my most vulnerable self, being accepted and loved for exactly how and who I am. I can highly recommend joining a Show Up retreat where you will be met with kindness, compassion and an open mind by people who care about personal growth, health, genuine connection and community. It is a beautiful experience that allows you to meet yourself and others at a deeper level and shift beliefs that are holding you back so that you can live more truthful with an open mind and heart."

    Stella

  • “This retreat was exactly what I needed. I'd been feeling burnt out and overwhelmed for months prior, and was struggling to break the cycle. Spending 5 days up in the beautiful Moroccan mountains, surrounded by likeminded people, gave me the perfect setting to truly disconnect and focus on my own wellbeing. I really enjoyed the balance of activities - from spiritual meditation practices, to sweaty yoga sessions, to educational breath work workshops, to surf sessions with new friends, the whole retreat was an incredible experience."

    Liora

  • "If you’re someone who understands that there’s more to life than eat, sleep, work, and repeat and you’re ready to put yourself first, then this is for you and I highly recommend that you come to this retreat without any expectations so you can leave with a lot more than you can even think of by joining. I came to disconnect from technology, connect with other people and spend some time in nature but I left with SO MUCH MORE… I left lighthearted, with so much gratitude and my heart full of love. I’m clear on the next steps I need to take and the work I need to do. Thank you so much 🙏

    Maxime

  • “The reset retreat was the perfect experience to find myself, surrounded by beautiful people and great views of the mountains and the ocean. The workshops and every activity were just perfect. During my time there, I learned to let go of old habits and feel happier. If you're looking for a peaceful and supportive retreat, I highly recommend it."

    Margot

  • “On the Reset retreat, Jake and Simone held a space of tranquility, connection and creativity that encouraged self-understanding and led to lovely insights, experiences and friendships. I will take home the importance of mindfulness in our everyday, and how quickly you make friends eating meals under the stars."

    Helen

  • "The whole experience of this retreat was amazing. From the very thought through yoga classes and workshops to all the small details that really put the whole experience together. Simone and Kendal are two beautiful souls that complement each other in how they both show up to support you in different ways. Loving myself for investing in this retreat."

    Jennifer

  • "Simone and Kendal are a perfect and complementary team that guide you through self-deveopment with empathy, professionalism and great skill in their different practices. I really recommend a Bloom retreat for anyone wishing to connect with themselves and others, or simply seeking to see what this type of retreat is all about. It was my first time doing something like that and the experience was very gentle, comforting and open to any type of need."

    Lucie

  • "Reset has been a wonderful experience, for both the body and the mind. A space created with trust, care and respect. Definitely something to try, no matter where you are in your journey! The retreat surprised me in many ways and left me full of gratitude for both the people, the space as well as for how thoughtful the activities and schedule was created. The location and accommodation were spectacular, cosy and rustic, the food was not only healthy and nutritional but absolutely delicious. It had such a variety of activities for both mind, soul and body - a little bit of everything to reconnect to yourself and the world around! Thank you!"

    Andreea

  • "I have been a lower vibration version of myself over the past weeks & too much in my head (which resulted in having a headache for 10 days straight before the retreat, and I never have headaches). I left as a high vibration version of myself, totally recharged, reconnected with Gaia, Life, and the Source, I'm now led by my heart, I am full of energy, love and light, and of course the headache was gone already on Friday. I had important epiphanies, I healed, I learnt, and I also made some new friends. Participating in this retreat was a true blessing. Jake and Simone planned a fantastic schedule and created a safe, loving environment right in the beginning, in which I could learn, heal, grow, recharge, and reconnect with myself, nature, and the Divine. Our amazing farmhouse in the mountains and the incredible food also contributed greatly to these unforgettable four days. It was one of the best experiences of my life. Thank you!"

    Eszter

  • "This was a retreat where strangers become friends. A safe space that allows you to get to know yourself on a deeper level. A place full of laughters, cries and just a fun time. I left the retreat with answers, strength, energy, courage, a good portion of self love and just genuinely happy with what is. The silence, the time for myself and the conversations with great people helped me to find answers to some of my questions. Feeling lighthearted & very ready to walk through some new doors that opened up through this experience. Gracias, Merci & thank you 🙏🏻 "
