A must-do! If you love the outdoors, a bit of vigor, wonderful company, deep reflection, excellent food, and guidance from many wisdom traditions, then this is your trip! The time at Amicalola State Falls Park was great --- and topped only by going to Hike Inn. Tell your friends, make the time, and do it!

Kris has been an incredible role model and mentor throughout my career. She not only guided me during the foundation of my business but has continued to offer thoughtful reflection and actionable insights at retreats, one-on-one meetings, and presentations that I've attended, which have created ripples of growth and meaningful change in my life. I am grateful for the time I have shared with Kris—and I would not be where I am today without her.

Kris prepared each morning/evening circle with great intention and thoughtfulness, it was a deeply meaningful way to begin and end each day. Lots of opportunity for reflection and connection with others in the group. We became a little family out there in the woods! There was also plenty of opportunity to use the day as we felt we needed. It was relaxed, loving and embraced in a sense of trust. This was a beautiful experience that I will be thinking about for a long time...
