Event Testimonials
In addition to putting together a fun, interesting & informative retreat, Katy did a nice job keeping the retreat moving on time, engaging the group, and she frequently checked in with us to see how people were feeling and what we needed. She was attentive and supportive.

The Storytelling, Community, and Transformation Jewish Retreat was truly all the things it said it would be. Katy and Erin skillfully created a community space where I felt safe and brave enough to be vulnerable with myself and others in a way I hadn't been in a long time. This vulnerability allowed for me to dig into my personal story in a new way and find new paths it could take. Rather than being sucked into the fear and sadness around past traumas I am now finding light in them, which is truly an act of transformation. Jewish themes of finding strength and new life out of overcoming darkness were seamlessly woven in throughout the weekend, making me recognize that my human experience is also inherently my Jewish experience. Overall the retreat helped me find new ways of being brave, and finding trust within myself when faced with life's fears and overwhelm.

Katy is an expert facilitator who knows how to engage her audience. She is approachable, kind and clearly very knowledgable and passionate about what she teaches. I fell really lucky to have been able to learn with her. I hope to get the chance to learn with her again!

This class I felt was extremely beneficial to myself and the others who took the class. I feel so much more connected to the other elements inside of me where I normally only connected with water, the element of my sun sign. The first week I was a bit hesitant to get into it because I didn’t know anyone and I’d never been to there before. But after that first week I started getting used to the people who were showing up again and by the end I felt very comfortable around them all. I highly recommend this class for astrology pros and starters just because it takes such a unique approach to the connection of each element.

Kim and Katy were both super helpful and polite to everyone in the class. I felt welcomed by them both immediately.

Katy and Kim are wonderful teachers. I learned about how astrology and all of the signs play in my everyday life. Kim introduced me to new oils and her yoga poses were well thought out for the earth sign we were learning about. Katy’s meditations were the best and should not be missed!

The retreat was a really wonderful experience. Both instructors were clearly experts in their areas and had a lot of great knowledge to share. I learned so much over the two days. I felt like the timing was well thought out and topics covered were interesting and thought-provoking. The yoga was calming and the overview of astrology in relation to this past year gave me a lot to reflect on. The participants were willing to share and listen. It was so nice to have a space to be vulnerable. It was I would highly recommend taking this class!

The Embodied Astrology sessions were such a joy to be apart of- as someone who has difficulty feeling into my body and getting out of my head, I really enjoyed how Katy and Kim led us through movement, meditation, and discussion. For anyone interested in or curious about astrology and the different energies of the signs, this workshop was a great way to not only learn about the signs, but how we can feel them within us and apply them in our lives. The exercises Katy and Kim led were incredibly moving, and I left every session feeling invigorated and full of love. There were super welcoming and knowledgable, I'm already looking forward to more workshops with them!

My experience [of the retreat] was that by showing up and being open, the emotional cleansing happened without my having to *try*, but rather by allowing all the offerings to wash over me. There was a lot to receive at this workshop, from the yoga, to the powerful cleansing exercises, and the delicious lunch! The facilitators were also wise, warm, and witty!
