TESTIMONIALS

"This retreat has gone above and beyond my expectations!"

You should absolutely go [to this retreat]. Michelle is amazing. She knew me before I even got here—not actually knew me, but she understood me. And she is humble but incredibly talented. There is every single attention to detail, and there is not a moment of your day that is not spent in some way improving who you are, reflecting, and becoming a better person. I suggest when you come, you come with an open mind, come with an obedient heart and willingness to do anything, and you will reap the benefits of that tenfold. Whatever you think you're going to gain and experience coming, this retreat has gone above and beyond my expectations. It will transform your life.

"It was truly an incredible experience! You're gonna learn so much information and Michelle is somebody that you need in your life, definitely."

The Puja ceremony was definitely the highlight of my weekend. There are so many different facets to it. There's so much information where you do different things, and you wonder how it all ties together—and at the end, it does. It teaches you so many different things about your life, from past to present to your future. It was truly an incredible experience. Get out of your comfort zone and just go. Come to this retreat—it's one of the best weekends you will ever have. You're gonna learn so much information, and Michelle is somebody that you need in your life, definitely.

"It was one of the most incredible ceremonies that I'll remember for the rest of my life!"

The most powerful was the ceremony that we had on the beach, where we actually were able to focus on the future instead of reflecting on the past. It was one of the most incredible ceremonies that I'll remember for the rest of my life. To anyone that's on the fence watching this, don't even think about it, just go. And don't even have any expectations because like I said, what I expected to get out of this is totally different and beyond my wildest dreams. So don't even think about it, just show up and promise yourself that you'll play full out and you will get so much out of this trip. It will be magnificent.

"It's more than rest. It's more than a getaway, I promise you that. I can't wait to come again!"

The first morning, we had this amazing yoga with sunrise yoga. The sunrise was spectacular. The yoga experience was absolutely wonderful. But everything—just every experience—grew on, and you just got better and better and better. And maybe it's because we were just becoming more open throughout the experience. I think the whole experience was impactful, one on top of the other. If anyone is considering doing a yoga wine bar with Michelle Dutro and you're on the fence, just first know that your expectations will be exceeded. I would say it's more than rest. It's more than a getaway, I promise you that. I can't wait to come again.

"It was an unforgettable experience! The stunning views are absolutely breathtaking."

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the inner North Star retreat center and it was an unforgettable experience. The stunning views are absolutely breathtaking, and you can’t miss how amazing the sunsets and sunrises are! The atmosphere is incredibly calming; every detail seems thoughtfully designed to foster relaxation and rejuvenation. From the peaceful surroundings to the serene ambiance, it’s clear that a lot of care went into creating a space where guests can truly unwind. Whether you’re looking to escape the hustle and bustle or simply find a peaceful retreat, this center offers a perfect sanctuary. I left feeling refreshed and I can’t recommend it highly enough.
