"Deep Connection And Incredible Wisdom" 
"This past weekend was nothing short of transformative. I’m still processing all the love, deep connection, and the incredible wisdom shared among such beautiful souls. I have never felt more grateful to be part of such a loving, conscious, and supportive community. To be surrounded by women who uplift, inspire, and truly see each other is a rare and precious thing. This retreat was beyond epic, and my heart is overflowing with appreciation for every soul who shared in this journey."

"The Ripples Of This Experience Are Moving Out Into The World"
"To each and every CGA sister who was there, your energy, openness, and authenticity made this retreat even more powerful. You brought so much love, insight, and beauty into our shared space, and I am forever grateful for you all.
To all my sisters at Conscious Girlfriend Academy, I see you, I cherish you, and I am so honored to walk this path with you. The ripples of this experience are moving out into the world, and I can’t wait to continue this journey together."

"Food for the Heart & Soul"
"The weekend at Palm Springs Retreat was healing and exhilarating at the same time.  Getting to know these women one on one and being touched by their stories and their strength is almost overwhelming.  The feeling of being safe, accepted and loved was abundant.  My heart was so very full the entire time.
I am so privileged to be a part of a group of women who are open, honest, trusting and loving.  I feel safe with all of them.  The faces became living people whom I will call "sisters".  The connections at the retreat fed our hearts and souls.  Ruth, Nicki and Jen ultimately provided the safe space for us to meet, learn and appreciate each other!"

"Liberated My Inner Flirt"
"Attending the Palm Springs retreat, I liberated my inner flirt and deepened my connections with fellow academy members. That, combined with participating in the buddy program individually and in groups, has given me the gift of developing relationships with conscious lesbians -- which in and of itself is so healing."
