The men and women that work there are very kind and gracious. Everyone was well meaning, I think. However, the "teacher"/"guide" that I spoke to to discuss my intentions and what not for my experience my first day there said and I quote (because it left such a yucky taste in my mouth) "we sell spirituality here." Spirituality is not something to be owned or monetized. This is wrong! I also went to a talk given by another "teacher" there who spoke that suicide was a sin, and playing jazz music was existing on a lower level of consciousness. Sure, I am not giving you the context in which these things were said. But they were said none-the-less. This is all said from a place of ignorance, I realize that, but words have power, we need to be careful with our language and both those statements are hurtful and dangerous to preach, especially from a place of power as a "teacher." Yucko!!

Stephanie created the most beautiful & inspiring sound healing journey I ever experienced…read more She has 50+ different instruments at her fingertips, and they all have wonderful unique sounds & effects. I especially enjoyed the rain drum and the giant gong. Ask about her home-made teas and herbal balms and salves, she is also very skilled in the art of herbalism! I went on a long acoustic journey in her healing studio- It felt like listening to a story being woven with an infinite array of beautiful sounds. I laid back in a relaxing & comfy position, sipped some homemade tea that helped relax into the journey, and enjoyed the beautiful shimmering surroundings and pleasant smells during the entire session. She cares about her clients and puts so much effort into creating a custom experience for each person, to give us what we really need in that moment. A+, highly recommended. Let's support her business and help her to do more of this great work!

I stayed in the Krishna cabin which is the last cabin on the way out to Bald Mountain (a lovely 360 degree look-out spot on the Sierra foothills). This is as close to a 5 star cabin in the forest as I could have imagined. Everything I could imagine needing was here. Simple but complete. The temple is absolutely silent. You can hear your heart beat in there. A powerful place for renewing your spirit and deeply refreshing for the dive back into civilization. And perhaps this is true civilization! :)

Sam is absolutely phenomenal. Now for the review…read more I come to voice lessons with years of experience in youth choirs and a few stints in adults choirs. While rusty I left each experience feeling a renewed control of my voice in speaking and singing. Sam is professional, intuitive, playful, and skilled; which makes sense as he has decades of experience singing professionally and for fun. With clear and precise instructions he helped me warm back up to my voice. There was even a moment he played a familiar melody and I burst into song, clearly deviated from the exercise. He just played on, celebrated by enthusiasm, and brought me back to the work. Let us be clear, we had FUN advancing through the exercises as he critiqued my voice, helping me fine tune it every step of the way. While I am not a beginner, he comes off as an instructor who would help anyone willing to work to find strength in their voice. Cannot wait for our next session together!

Sam is wonderful! His gift for sound healing is intuitive,…read moreinnovate and professional. In just a couple sessions he was able to bring forward a subtle awakening through me to create deep awareness and release energetic blockages. The beauty of the sound healing sessions are that you don't have to "do" anything. I completely trust Sam and was able to drop into a deep place of stillness and awaken to my true self. I look forward to continue working with Sam and highly encourage anyone working with deeper issues that haven't had success in other modalities to try his technique and hope you feel the same quality of results I did. Thank you!

Saw a lot of deer! - Veg food was delicious & healthy. I did have snacks to supplement bc I got hungry between meals and at night - yoga was interesting and relaxing although sometimes religious-y Overall very friendly staff, well priced, clean accommodations (loved the cabins- helped me disconnect better than the dormitory housing), great food, lovely yoga sessions (didn't make to all bc i couldn't wake up). There is definitely a religious aspect which did make me a bit uncomfortable but it wasn't forceful or anything.
