This retreat was the first time that I spent any significant time away from my 3 year old son, and I could not have felt more supported during that milestone. This is NOT your “average mom retreat” (although I’m not entirely sure what that even means). Tiffany will meet you at your edge, encourage you to look deeply at yourself, and sit with you as you either celebrate or mourn over the depths of yourself, world, and experiences. I have never done a retreat. Not only will this not be my last, but I plan to attend as many of MMM’s retreats as possible in the years to come!

I had initially signed up for the Mothers Moving Mountains retreat with Tiffany because my sister found it and she and I wanted to get away together. Although I was slightly skeptical about the weekend, we walked into the house to a sincere, warm welcome and to a group of truly amazing women. From the opening circle, where we all went around saying a bit about ourselves and why we were there, to yoga and movement, the beautiful meals, hikes, rituals, journaling and socializing, I felt such a deep level of connectedness and purpose. Although I avoid going deep with all people except my very closest (and even then not very often), I found myself opening up to a space of vulnerability I hadn’t accessed in a long time. It was safe and loving, and it made way for some of the most profound healing I have ever felt. There is a magic to how Tiffany brings women together to allow for opening and healing, without pressure, and cultivates a space of play, joy and humanness. I cannot recommend a MMM retreat more–it will change your life.

I have been to a host of retreats and there is such an art in holding space for an entire community in a way that the person leading the retreat doesn’t become the center of the experience. I have experienced very few of such guides and was not surprised (because Tiff is pure brilliance) but incredibly pleased to experience a community where the magic of each individual was honored; where synergy was found and where the divine spoke through each one of us in unique ways. As a mama of twins who really needed some time to connect with SELF, the retreat gave me a space to do just that and to listen to my own wisdom; embrace my new identity AND my divinity. I am stronger and more steadfast because I had and continue to have this community for life. If you are considering taking a retreat with Tiffany, jump at the opportunity. Just being in her presence is healing.
