The San Diego retreat brought together a group of authentic, kind and curious people from all walks of life. I went in with no experience with breath work and left amazed at this unique modality for enlightenment; John really shines with his breath work instruction. The structure of the retreat was perfect. The setting was beautiful and peaceful. Food was excellent (though I wouldn’t call it plant-based). Would do it all over again.
