Clarity of Presentation of course material –

• “Great to reflect back on.” – Kira

Relevant/useful resources provided –

• “Art class was great, would definitely recommend.” – Kira
  

Skills taught adequately in available time –

• “Maybe 3 nights or 3 full days may be a better length. Loved getting out and doing the walks. Maybe incorporate a meditation by the creek (supply bug repellent and ask Marga to construct a meditation platform by the creek?” – Kira
  
• “Jane the biggest gift for me was the solitude, quiet,  no technology, women soul time.” – Vivienne
  

Adequate time spent in discussion –

• “Maybe 2 one-on-one sessions, this would give each person opportunity to think/reflect and ask questions the next day.” – Vivienne
  
• “Found the one-on-one time very valuable. Jane you do have a great skill in helping people to find their answers.” – Michelle
  

Adequate support and feedback from Jane –

• “Jane your mindfulness is tangible.” – Vivienne
  

Retreat met my expectations –

• “I wasn’t sure what to expect, so was happy to go with the flow. It was hard to stop/slow down. I felt at the time I needed more direction, but this is me – the whole not knowing/having control thing.” 🙂 – Kira
  
• “I really didn’t have any expectations, which was fantastic.  The retreat gave me a good rest and time and space to reflect.  It also provided a great opportunity to develop a closer relationship with my colleagues.” – Michelle
  
• “Yes sisterhood, womanhood, quietness, I think I need a couple retreat. Too sort for me another day, would have encouraged deeper thinking, reflection and soul searching. A massage and an art class would be a wonderful asset and nourish souls!” – Vivienne

Quality of Facilitation –

• “You are brilliant. Thanks for sharing your stories and life tips.” 🙂 – Kira
  
• “Very flexible to meet the needs of the 3 participants.” – Michelle
  

Other comments –

• “You have such an easy going nature Jane. It’s hard to let things just go and let the journey unfold as it will. Well done. This really worked well and provided an environment that allowed time for reflection with just enough prompting to consider the bigger questions.” – Michelle

Launchpad “It’s All About YOU” Women’s Retreat July 12-14, 2013

The Launchpad “It’s All About YOU” Women’s Retreat was conducted on July 12-14, 2013 at Solitude Retreat. The following is feedback from the participants of this retreat.

“I loved the ‘casual’ nature of the weekend with Jane able to flow with suggestions from us on what we felt like doing. Highlight was the natural bridge walk at night where I could connect with nature and just being “in the moment”. A great group of girls who got involved in discussions without trying to ‘overtake’ or ‘dictate’ their views on the rest of us. Loved it all.” – Catherine

“Jane a lovely, relaxing weekend away from home. A serene beautiful setting to reconnect with myself and meet a wonderful group of people also on their own journey. Thank you Jane for the respectful, non-threatening manner you facilitated this retreat. Thank you for the flexibility you allowed so that this retreat unfolded for the people who attended. Yoga and the gentleness and informative approach that was taken was really appreciated.” – Zoe

“Loved Jane’s retreat, the venue and atmosphere were welcoming and relaxing from the first moment. I felt free to get from the weekend as much as I wanted from the weekend.” – Sheralyn
