NEW YEAR RETREAT TESTIMONIALS

This retreat was nothing short of magical. it was truly an emotional transformative experience for me. I feel like I cried and healed 35 years of trauma. it was not easy – it took so much courage. But I have never in my life felt the release and breakthrough that I did during this retreat. I know that life will be a continuous work in progress, but you have both set such a strong and clear foundation on how to navigate through life’s soul work. -Jackie, 2020 Retreat Goer

When is the next one? Sign me up! …Connor and Vienna, you are magic. I found love, lightness, answers, force, health, expansiveness, and peace. It was transformative, it was powerful, it was It! To my friends who are curious- just do it! -Bree, 2020 Retreat Goer

Thank you for creating a safe and secure environment to explore how to be a better human. An authentic human. And find ways to tap into an inner part of myself that I was afraid to find and share.  The experience has been so powerful and profound. Trust the process. Trust Vienna and Connor. -Brian, 2020 Retreat Goer

Oh gosh. I don’t know where to begin. I really want to not sound cheesy or too fluffy because I know pre retreat me would roll my eyes at that and she was the one who needed to take the risk. But post retreat me respects my value of being authentic, soooooo this is going to be cheesy.  The retreat is indescribable. So valuable. Life changing.  If you’re looking to be happier, find your peace, feel love, feel accepted, feel authentic. Then go. Sign up right now. Sign up yesterday. You absolutely won’t regret it.  And you absolutely deserve it. -Elise, 2020 Retreat Goer

Amazing! Incredible! Words can’t describe how powerful and impactful this experience was for me! Transformational, in every sense of the word. As the only person of color, Connor and Vienna and all of the beautiful people who went, and the amazing and attentive staff, showed me such kindness and warmth and compassion that it blew my mind. They saw my humanity, embracing all of me, and I am grateful. I used to hear about experiences that change your life and believed it to be all hype and hyperbole. But after this, I am a believer! -Caleb, 2020 Retreat Goer

Accelerated expansion is the best way for me to describe this retreat and my experience.  Connor and Vienna are masters of their crafts and created such a warm, trusting and safe environment.  I’m leaving with a new perspective and understanding of where my work needs to be done. I will be forever grateful for this time and this community. -Amanda, 2020 Retreat Goer

Starting 2020 with this retreat with Connor and Vienna was the best thing I could have done. I was looking for a transformation to move forward out of old patterns. Out of armour, masks and shields I was using with people to protect myself from vulnerability and from being seen. I was tired of being stuck. I was tired of not being able to move beyond my wounding and the stories I was telling myself. This all changed over the course of 3 days and I have walked away with a lightness, a new story, and a new set of friends willing to support my continual transformation. I would recommend this to anyone looking to do the work to be able to achieve wholeness and happiness. -Wendy, 2020 Retreat Goer

Vienna & Connor know so well how to create a safe, reflective space to dive deep into whatever has been blocking you and what you are trying to release. The retreat setting is perfect for getting away and giving over complete focus. I came in with high expectations and it wildly exceeded them. – Ed, 2020 Retreat Goer

The work done at the retreat is life changing. Vienna and Connor create a space of safety and support in order for the work to take place. Their dynamic as a team can’t be replicated and builds on the unique involvement of the masculine and feminine work. I’m leaving the retreat ready to claim my future and live the life meant for me. – Lisa, 2020 Retreat Goer

Connor and Vienna, where do I even begin… It’s almost impossible to put into words the magic I just experienced. I’m feeling a million emotions, but to try and condense it to one – it would be gratitude. Gratitude for creating such an amazing experience for 14 strangers to take part in. It was the most transformative, incredible, and refreshing few days I’ve ever had. I’m walking out of this vibrantly awake, for the first time in a long time. It has truly made me a better person and I will forever feel immensely grateful for having been a part of it. I can’t thank you both enough. -Shannon, 2020 Retreat Goer

SUMMER RETREAT TESTIMONIALS

“If you are not signing up for this retreat, you will surely unfortunately regret it! Looking back, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I just knew it would end up as a wonderful experience if MindfulMFT had anything connection to it. I would highly recommend this weekend to anyone who is interested in creating real change and diving into full self awareness. The insight I received from this weekend is something I hold dear to me on an everyday basis even though the retreat has been long completed. The true vulnerability and ability to pinpoint many aspects of my life just in one weekend alone, makes me so excited to see what else life has in store for me. The retreat confirmed my full potential and allowed me to see that I am indeed in control of my life and am in the driver’s seat for my present and future. For the first time in many years, although I have a very supportive network, I have felt truly heard, seen and validated. I only wish for everyone to experience such a beautiful weekend if given the opportunity.” – Unsha, 2019 Retreat Goer

“I was a little hesitant going into this but I knew only good could come out of it. I am 24 years old, never been to any kind of therapy, and this retreat completely changed my life. I had never felt more supported, comfortable, honored, and heard before (much less around a group of complete strangers)! These people all impacted my life so much. There is not a single thing I would change. If you’re thinking about doing it, do yourself a favor and stop thinking about it, just do it.” – Kirsten, 2019 Retreat Goer

“The singles retreat with Vienna and Connor exceeded my expectations. To be honest, I had no idea what I was getting into because I had never done something like this before. It’s hard to put into words what this retreat did for my heart and soul. I not only see myself differently but I see others differently, in the most profound and beautiful way. I bared my heart and soul to a group of strangers and the transformation that happened is something that I will always hold sacred. My journey at the Dutchess taught me to honor my inner voice AND trust it. I went to the retreat feeling defeated in an area of my life and left with a newfound peace and hope again. I can’t recommend this experience enough.” – Christine, 2019 Retreat Goer

The singles retreat was the best investment I ever made in myself. I signed up with a goal of learning how to find/have a healthy, fulfilling relationship and left the retreat with not only the tools to do so but also a deeper understanding that I truly, truly deserve it. I feel so lucky to have had this experience and to share it with some of the kindest, warmest, most badass people I’ve ever met. Words can’t express how much I appreciate Vienna, Connor, and Stephanie for hosting this retreat — thank you so much! – Betty, 2019 Retreat Goer
