Guest Reviews

  • “For me, the retreat was a spiritual awakening. It lit the light inside of me that had long been missing and gifted me with the tools to love myself again. I left with immense gratitude for the experience, the women, the space we held. It was everything I didn't know I needed. I only hope that people will choose to invest in Aether’s retreats to take care and nurture their own self. It was a true gift.”

  • "It is hard to find the right words to describe how life transforming this week was. Maybe I don’t need to, my energy seems to speak for itself. Since I’ve been back, I’ve received so many compliments. I’m no longer hiding, and people seem to accept me in a way they hadn’t before. Or maybe it is me that does, accept myself in a way I had not before."

  • “The retreat opened my heart, changed my life, and brought me home to myself in one week of heaven on earth. We released, we healed, we spoke our dreams out loud and expanded together. I arrived having never experienced anything like this, and I left knowing this was just the beginning.”

    Retreat Attendee 2023

  • “I was nervous to be signing up for a retreat all on my own but I’m so glad I did, because the retreat was the best thing I could do for myself. I have never felt so much gratitude, love, connection, and self-appreciation. This trip is life changing and if you are looking for a sign, do it.”

    Retreat Attendee 2024

  • “A life changing experience for me. It provided a true safe space to be vulnerable and to feel freedom in honesty — I got to just be me, in all my emotions. I'd never experienced this powerful mode of healing in community. The retreat also introduced me to a new level of self care. Through the yoga practices, workshops, ceremonies, and location, I went truly inward, something that I've struggled to do and understand living in a bustling city. This experience was so special and the greatest gift. I feel so lucky to have found Aether and I know I'll keep coming back!”

    Retreat Attendee 2024

  • “I came into the retreat with a very raw traumatic experience and I felt so supported from the community of women who listened to me, gave me a comforting hug, and with Kristina's healing touch allowed me to transform my past experience into something beautiful.”

    Retreat Attendee 2024

  • “The retreat was life-changing and had an incredible impact on my life. I felt showered in love every day, and left as a much more confident and calm version of myself, feeling reconnected with myself and everything around me. This week was by far the highlight of my year, I look forward to coming back again.”

    Retreat Attendee 2022

  • “A really remarkable experience. You feel like you're in a different blissful and heavenly world, as you are enveloped with love, nourishment, and care. The attention to every detail, the thoughtfulness of the week's schedule, to the ceremonies, the words that are spoken, and the music that is played all has meaning, impact, and evokes all senses.”

    Retreat Attendee 2024

  • “The experience was pure magic, like experiencing a slice of heaven. As soon as I arrived, I felt so nourished, held, and loved. From the food that nourished our bodies to the space, mindfully curated down to every detail. Each movement, song, and practice was rooted in deep intention. It’s been a gift that keeps on giving.”

    Retreat Attendee 2022

  • "A highly curated, exceptional and personalized experience — the details woven throughout the retreat made me feel so welcome, comfortable, and truly looked after. Leaving the retreat, I fell more in love with myself. I left feeling rested, well nourished, with my cup full, and a fresh perspective on my life."

    Retreat Attendee 2022

  • “It was an absolute heart and soul-expanding experience, for which I am filled with endless gratitude. What Aether has created is an unending gift to the women who say yes to this experience and to the world, as our individual healing ripples out and into the whole of the universe. ”

    Retreat Attendee 2023

  • "Stunningly beautiful, gracious, elegant, kind, loving, effusive, and purely delightful. As long as I'm able, I'll show up at any retreat Aether creates, anywhere, anytime. I'd recommend that anyone who wants to more deeply explore their inner world, or simply bask in beauty, do the same."

    Retreat Attendee 2023

  • "Tactile beauty, abundant comfort, wise-woman wisdom, joyful play, and undiluted pleasure woven into the most magical week. I left nourished, with a renewed belief in myself, an incredible new group of friends, and a feeling of magic beneath my feet."

    Retreat Attendee 2023

  • “This incredible and transformative retreat experience has been a stepping stone leading to a whole new path of being I’ve only ever dreamed of. May you find the inner peace this experience has given me. May you find the deep-rooted healing that I’ve had the honor of experiencing.”
