The Tree of Life was a much-needed break from the digital world. The serenity of nature combined with the deep spiritual practices helped me reconnect with myself on a level I hadn’t realized was missing.

Had a great time at the Tree Of Life. There is so much offered at this place. It’s a place to be with others, to be by oneself, to share and to love. I am very thankful to have been introduced to this place. I will be back.

Thank you so much for the beautiful Space for the Wild Soul Women’s retreat. It is an amazing space and we felt as though it is ‘home’.

I do not believe words can do justice to explain the way I feel about the gem tucked away in Salmonier. The Tree came to me in a time in my life that it was most needed, clean living, the friendships and an endless amount of shared knowledge. I have never come to a place and felt more welcomed, valued and safe. I came to the Tree in a low point in my life unsure of my path. I hope to share with the world and someday give it back to the Tree.

Words can’t express how much this retreat has meant to me. I will always feel a deep connection to the people that were a part of my healing and growth. It’s all perfect.

Thank you so much for teaching me so many ways to do different things. I love gardening and building skills. Crossing the river in the fog forest and getting to the hidden waterfall with you was an immensely special moment for me. You are special people and I am glad I got to know you and this amazing project.

“I booked this retreat after a Google search and a “feeling”.”
The Tree of Life Centre facility and teaching was exactly what I needed to restart my yoga fire. Over the years I have learned from a handful of very knowledgeable teachers, Meranda is now on my short list. The bunk house accommodations were minimalistic but comfortable. This is not a luxury resort, it’s a retreat that reminds us that we really don’t need more than basics to be content. Our retreat offered a raw diet, something I’d never experienced for 5 full days, but felt it was the perfect setting and was glad I opted in for that. The food was tasty and satisfying – fueling me for the daily lessons and environment. This is the real deal yogis!

“Amazing experience!”
This retreat was a fantastic balance between physical yoga and learning about the philosophy. The day was well organized to include a wide range of activities, including some down time to enjoy the nature. The location of this retreat is tranquil and includes a beautiful waterfall where you can safely swim. You can tell right away that the accommodations and the food are all prepared with love, and it was an unforgettable experience. I will definitely be back!

“Truly Authentic, Safe, and Life-Changing”
The entire retreat was incredible. The location is in the most beautiful natural setting, the people were absolutely genuine and extremely knowledgeable, the food was so so delicious, all of the sessions were skillfully administered and deeply enlightening. I loved how the retreat center is off-grid because it supports peeling back the layers of illusion and fluff in our lives to get to the core of our being in a gentle, nurturing way that nourishes your entire being. If you’re even thinking about whether or not to attend, just do it. You won’t regret it; honestly you’ll look back on your experience and wonder why you didn’t do it sooner. There aren’t enough positive words to describe how absolutely fantastic this retreat is.

“A life changing experience!”
The connections with the other retreaters were nourishing for the soul. It made me realize how technology has replaced conversations. The property is beautiful although basic for the purpose of discovering a simple life. The yoga was gentle for beginners yet challenged me to examine my thought patterns and ways of coping. I found a way back to myself that has long laid dormant. Since the retreat I have found more joy in simplicity and gratitude. I was uncertain about the raw diet and if it would be satisfying. I found it to be more than enough. I enjoyed the meals and have continued making them at home. Meranda is an excellent teacher who meets students where they are. She is calm and patient, and able to model the philosophy of yoga. I would highly recommend this retreat as I learned skills I will carry for a lifetime.
