Testimonial from Kim

There are not enough words of gratitude for such a life changing 5 days. Even when I was frustrated, I reveled in the experience. When I realized through your presentations and discussions that I alone caused my suffering with my overthinking, overplanning, and over striving, it truly was a revelation. Over the years difficult relationships with some had caused my heart to be two sizes too small (like the Grinch) and now I feel an expansiveness and softening in my heart. Like for many, Solterreno has a special place in my heart. Thank you.

Testimonial
Excellent heart centered experience that far exceeded m y expectations. The structure was supportive and with each day another layer of knowledge was added culminating with a thorough understanding of the mindfulness foundations and the parallels with MBSR. Even though it was was my first retreat, I can't imagine another retreat unfolding in such a special way and I am already planning to attend the next one!

Training Staff feedback
Bodhin, you and your team create such a warm, safe and inviting space to learn and grow! One of the things I appreciated most was Monique's approach to yoga and how she guided our bodies into "shapes" instead of telling us "place your leg here and your arm here etc...) there was a lot of space to find out what worked for each individual. Jazz had such a calm and grounded presence that it was easy to go on the journey with him. There are no negatives.

TT3, June 2022

I loved how the course was structured. I took TT1 in the intense format of 1 week and TT2 was instead spread over 2 months. I really enjoyed both formats and I felt that TT2 was ideal in this format, because I really had the time to absorb what I learnt in each session and had time to prepare.…

Fantastic course. The structure of each day was fantastic. The days were long but every activity or teaching session felt like it was not rushed, there was spaciousness and yet things didn't often overrun or feel crammed in. Perfect balance. The teachers were absolutely wonderful, grounding,…
