"I went into the retreat with some skepticism about if this was the best use of my time. After the first day my concern evaporated--I was so glad to be there. The instructors created a comfortable and engaging flow and did a great job selecting the participants who were open, welcoming, and boundaried. Some of the activities I found profound, enlightening, awakening, and fulfilling. Moreover, I had fun! I was sad to leave and can only hope to have another experience like this again. I continue to feel grateful and fortunate to be part of this group."

"SSIT was beyond my expectations. By the time it was over and I had completed the retreat, I left with this amazing richness of ideas and information. My own sense of the sacred has grown. I have more understanding of what I would like to do in the future and how to do it. The facilitators were extremely knowledgeable and supportive. I gained so much from then and those in my cohort."

"The retreat portion of the SSIT program was profound for me. It was a beautiful balance of creating with one another, experiential practices, embodiment and learning how to facilitate with purpose from one of the true experts. Roz created a safe space for me to risk bringing my own offerings to life. She brought a wealth of knowledge, experience and authentic connection to the retreat, while also empowering all of us to share and shine in our skills, offerings and gifts. Any opportunity to work with Roz, in any retreat format, is a forever YES for me!

"I was SOOOOOOO worried about being able to create a ritual for a class without appropriating from other cultures because I have seen some beautiful rituals. However, you broke it down in that the meaning is created by the group/participant. We just supply the materials, the space, the elements and some ideas. This exercise made me think that I can do this--probably my favorite out of the whole ISEE program! But also, I am borrowing the idea we created and will try to implement in our workshop."
