"I came to Loretto Maryholme to be myself, to immerse myself in the landscape and to be held in a symbolic sense. Thank you to the house, the gardens and those of you that nurture it and make it a welcoming place ❤︎."
"It was all very easy & I felt at home right away. There is beauty at every turn from the views of the lake & sunrises & sunsets, to the beautiful souls who care for the people & the land. There is a Holy resonance that can be felt, a truly Sacred place. I feel rested & rejuvenated and so blessed to have shared time & space in silence with everyone present. Thank you!"
"As always, I am feeling restored as if I have been at a spa for a month! Thank you."
"I needed to escape and recharge. I need to take care of myself so I can continue to take care of others. Was feeling stressed, exhausted, overwhelmed. Needed the "hug" that I feel here; the embrace that recharges and relaxes me. Close to home (for an emergency) but a world away. The healing power of simply being here is profound. Thank you for sharing this magical place with those of us that need its soul food."
"Freeing! Thank you ☺︎"
"Sometimes when people ask me if I would like to go to Florida or Cuba I let them know that I've been there, and it's nice... but, I would rather go to a place where I can ... spend a little easy time with women I like. That's my idea of a vacation. It's inner space I want to take time to explore. It's my turn. And I had a bath (in the big tub in my room) for the first time in years ❤︎"
"These 3 days were divinely "timed" for me and allowed me the space & personal time to reflect & find the underlying cause of several things in my life that were misaligned to my true inherent self."
"Perfect ~"
"This was a very healing retreat for me... the vastness offered by just being was reaffirmed. ...I feel excited to be surprised by what I might find. I am listening to my deeper way of knowing."
"A time away to clear my mind and listen for guidance. Lovely to be out in nature. Enjoyed the silent support of other retreatants. Support from the staff from beginning to end. Such a beautiful retreat centre in a beautiful location and cared for by beautiful people. Thank you ❤︎".
"The experience was profound. The silence, the being without external responsibilities allowed me to enter into a prayerful way of being once the inner voices and expectations quieted. I was called to trust in God's active presence listening and responding to my longings. The labyrinth was so helpful. Water always soothes my soul. I took pictures of the Cosmic Walk 'stations' and will continue my retreat with them. I will also use the post-Easter stations for meditation. Your commitment to work with creation and allow her natural beauty to shine is an important call & vocation of Maryholme and adds to the retreat experience. I am full of gratitude."
