I have never had seven consecutive days where I didn't have to plan an activity, provide a meal, or take care of something or someone – the retreat week gave me exactly that.

Before we got to the retreat, I can honestly say that my husband and I weren’t sure we “needed” or “deserved” a couples retreat, and we weren’t totally sure what I had applied for. It didn’t take long for us to realize the amazing experience we were gifted by Little Pink.

Words can’t truly describe all the thoughts and feelings we have as we reflect back on our time at the beach with some incredible humans. I have never had seven consecutive days where I didn’t have to plan an activity, provide a meal, or take care of something or someone – the retreat week gave me exactly that. Every possible care was taken off my plate and I was given the time and space to “just be”.

My husband and I had so much fun together, with no cares in the world. We loved meeting and building relationships with the other participants. We have made lifelong friends who know and understand us in a way that others don’t. Again, what a gift and truly a once in a lifetime experience. We are forever grateful.
