What makes a retreat different from a session? It’s akin to the distinction between a spa visit and a simple massage, or a boutique shopping experience versus a department store browse. It’s all about the immersive experience and the personalized attention, where you feel truly pampered and cared for. Picture this: You’re picked up from the airport, your hotel, or even your home, so you can relax and leave the driving to us. Upon arrival, you’re greeted with your favorite drink and snack as we review the day’s agenda. Then, it’s like stepping into a fashion show, with fabrics and threads carefully curated from Barb’s collection, each chosen for their unique colors and styles that capture the essence of Hawaii. After a leisurely lunch break to reflect on the morning’s session, we delve into the afternoon project, ensuring you leave with a sense of accomplishment, handouts to guide you, and of course, a delightful gift bag to top it all off.
