We would like to thank everyone for attending the 3rd Annual Womens Retreat: CAME TO BELIEVE . . . on June 3-5, 2011. It was a great weekend and we had just as much fun as the attendees.

Here is some feedback from our surveys:

• Everything, very well organized, the site was gorgeous
• yoga, Reiki, Shakra Balancing, prayer flag making
• just “being”, taking in the beautiful surroundings, lake, pine trees etc. enjoying the moment
• healing workshops and red ball meeting
• Beautiful setting, reasonably priced, great food, nice variety of program

What did you like LEAST?

• The mosquitos :(
• Late Saturday night circle, too many of us to each share
• I really can’t complain about anything
• Like any good addict I want more
• The timing of some sessions; don’t overlap them unless you offer them twice so we can attend all if we choose to.
  Wits Response: WE'LL KEEP THIS IN MIND
• Sat night circle too long
• Too many women sharing too long, maybe break into smaller groups or suggest shorter sharing:
  Wits Response: THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUGGESTIONS
• Men from other group being here maybe we could be big enough next time to have the whole place 
  Wits Response: HOPE TO HAVE THE ENTIRE FACILITY IN 2012
• I can’t think of a single thing

Workshop/session recommendations:
