"The retreat allowed me to leave my worries, stress and various roles behind and focus on myself. I enjoyed hearing other women’s stories and sharing my own. Linda fosters a safe, supportive environment conducive to reflection and honest sharing."

"A Nautilus retreat is the perfect place to reenergize, and to de-stress. I have attended several of Linda's retreats, and it never fails to amaze me how wonderful I feel afterwards. Linda has a warm and wonderful style of leadership that makes you want to go back again, and again...."

"I loved the one day retreat. The setting was wonderful; it encompassed our natural world as well as a warm and cozy inside space. How fortunate to spend the day with like-minded women in a nurturing environment!"
- Cindy, age 53
"Having shared feelings and emotions with receptive, focused kindred spirits, the feelings as I went away from the day of retreat were good. My spirit had been calmed and warmed, and I was bathed in a glow of positive feelings. I felt strengthened for the time ahead."
- Wanda, age 78
"As a new mother with numerous time constraints, it was difficult to imagine giving myself a whole day off to attend a retreat. I wrestled with the decision for some time before finally signing up. Now, having attended a Nautilus retreat, I know that my decision to do so benefited my entire family. I left this experience renewed, inspired, and best of all, full of joy.
Linda created an inviting, safe atmosphere in which we all felt comfortable sharing our ideas and stories. Linda is a thoughtful listener and a keen observer. She managed to lead our group down paths I don't know that any of us expected to walk. The activities she presented were original, thought provoking and fun. I was reminded that as a new mother, self-care is not a luxury, but rather a vital aspect of health and happiness, which enables us to take care of others."
