Sharron

Sharron

I went to the Majestic Oak Retreat and found it a very grounding and calming experience. The property is beautiful with the yurt being surrounded by a variety of plants and a stream which really allows you to feel calm just being on the land.
The experience was wonderful and gave me an incredibly peaceful feeling, and I learnt so much about how to apply what we did to my everyday life as well.
I would highly recommend this to everyone even if it’s a new thing, try it because It is truly amazing.
