“My heart is filled with much gratitude for having discovered your Fuzzy Red Socks Retreat. It was an absolute gift to be a part of such a lovely event, surrounded by lovely people. From the moment I walked through the door, I felt warm and welcomed and embraced by all. This experience opened my heart, awakened my spirit, and allowed me to reconnect with a part of me that I had been disconnected from for so long. I walked away with countless gifts, some big and some small, but all meaningful in their own way. Thanks to you, I now carry with me a new mantra, “I will always allow me to be me”. And I have learned the profound truth that doing good things for ourselves is not an act of selfishness… it is an act of LOVE. Thank you again for your kindness, your vibrant spirit, and your desire to share with others. There is much greatness left in this world, sometimes it takes the right people to remind us of that.” – Misty (Livermore, CA)

“I was honored to attend a fuzzy red socks retreat this past weekend. My demanding life needed a retreat; I almost did not go. But gentle persuasion from Carole got me there. It was the best 5 hours I have spent anywhere in a very long time! I was with other like minded, beautiful women willing to open our hearts; enjoy meditation, reflection , yoga, soul searching and vulnerability. I was able to make new friends and really embrace some inner peace and mindfulness. I learned new things about myself along with new ways to love myself! Thank you Carole for inviting me into your life & passions! I will treasure our retreat & friendship forever !” Love, Pam (San Ramon, CA)
