Testimonials
This retreat was a day filled with confirmation for me. I had been avoiding prioritizing myself but attended on a whim. The day was filled with such powerful affirmations, safe spaces, connections, and community… I left feeling renewed, with a regained sense of inner strength and determination to continue mindful meditation and yoga as a form of radical self care. Malaika is absolutely a godsend. Thank you for welcoming me into a safe space.

Attending one of Stacey’s sessions is always a lovely opportunity to be guided through self expression and the art process. It is a wonderful, meditative process that encourages exploration while still coming away with something tangible in the end. Thank you Stacey!
~ Sue B
The retreat with Malaika was a day full of revelation and content. The retreat allowed for self reflection through teachings, thought provoking conversations with beautiful minds and the opportunity to 'let go'.
~ HT
Stacey’s sessions are always so relaxing especially after a long hard day or week! It’s also a bonus to create in an environment with many like- minded people. My only issue is the class actually has to end!
