Laurita Gorman

"It’s really hard to put into words the amount of love and gratitude I have for Laurita, our beautiful, strong, wise and fierce retreat leader. Not only did she choose the most gorgeous setting, surrounded by all the beauty that nature could possibly provide but she created a space so lovely and so sacred for us all to come together to create the most uplifting vibes and most beautiful experiences that exceeded all my dreams and expectations .  She made us all feel loved, appreciated, and special with every day that we spent together in our bond of sisterhood.  I met the most wonderful women who I know for sure that I will continue to have friendships with that will last a lifetime.  Laurita gave us all the opportunity to push past our boundaries, believe in ourselves, and find our inner light, our inner child, and our inner beauty. Something that we all have always had in us but somewhere along the way we lose sight of it and we as women all deserve to find that peace and happiness again in our life. I wasn’t sure exactly what it was I was looking for when I took this leap of faith to join this adventure, all I knew was that I felt lost and needed something.  My experiences on this trip gave me clarity, strength, and so much love for myself and I will never be able to fully explain how truly grateful I am to Laurita for all she did for us. If you are looking for a reset in life, a chance to refresh, renew and find that quietness in your mind again you need to do this for yourself, you need to work with Laurita. I promise you it will be the most incredible experience of your life!"

"The decision to go on retreat was not one that I made lightly. It took a lot of strength, courage and belief in myself but I am so glad that I took that leap. I did not know a single woman before arriving, but it was such an instant connection of sisterhood full of support and positivity. Laurita made each woman in the group feel heard, understood, and safe during every interaction, whether that was in circle or out exploring the beauty of our surroundings."

​

 

"I went on retreat to find more clarity and purpose in my life and I came back with so much more. I have gained the experience of a new culture while continuing to take major steps within myself to be more present in my daily life and let go of all that has been holding me back.  Beyond my internal growth and takeaways, I will forever cherish the friendships I have made and the memories I have shared with my new sisters. We laughed, we cried, we danced in the rain, we overcame so many challenges and we did it all together- so powerful."

​

 

"I cannot begin to thank Laurita enough. I have never met someone so fierce and authentic. She has this innate ability to bring women together and cultivate personal healing and growth.  It is so beautiful to witness. For anyone considering going on a retreat with Laurita, you could not ask for a better leader. If you are feeling that pull, follow your intuition! You will never regret being true to yourself."

"Laurita picked a peace of magical paradise for all of us.  Laurita had a well thought out and attention to detail schedule planned for the group daily. We would start the morning in silence, and begin our morning yoga practice and a daily workshop later in the day. Every second day we would have the option to go on an adventure. This would include snorkelling, surfing, cooking class, shopping and an early hike up a mountain! Please remember the choice is yours, Laurita just gives you your options. Relaxing by the beautiful, blow your mind away pool, was always an option.  Looking back on it, l loved it all, and did it all!! However, it was the workshops with Laurita that made the difference, spiritually and mentally. Better clarity is something we could all use and I would leave a workshop feeling twenty pounds lighter.  I’d like to thank Laurita for my life changing, eye opening journey. She makes a difference!!"

​

​

"There was an immediate connection with the group and with Laurita. I am usually not one to share, but our workshops and post yoga conversations really encouraged this though and I am forever grateful of letting down my guard and sharing my fears, doubts, and ultimately my love with the group.  Laurita took care of all of the planning for us. Everything from finding the most amazing retreat location, to scheduling our yoga, workshops, and the most incredible excursions. As a group of spirited women, we faced new adventures and challenges. Everything from surfing to climbing a mountain for sunrise. Each woman supported one another without hesitation. And our fearless leader was at the helm encouraging us to push ourselves to new limits.  Back in my day to day life, I am taking time to savour moments that I used to rush through. I am going easier on others I love and I am also going easier on myself. Knowing that I am."

​

"It is very difficult to reduce a trip that was completely life-changing for me, into a few paragraphs. When I signed up to go on retreat, with Laurita, I was very excited for a new kind of travel and personal growth experience. It was as though my soul just shouted, “Do This!’ The experience, as a whole, provided an amazing opportunity for each and everyone of us there to stretch our comfort zones, expand our beliefs about ourselves, create new friendships and deepen into our relationship with our own being. She provided phenomenal adventures that were so diverse and steeped in rich culture. It was nothing short of amazing to have everything so carefully thought out and looked after with such care and attention to detail. Details such as: personally selecting the drivers to take us to and from our resort to our excursions, organizing hiking up a mountain at sunrise, surfing, arranging special meal accommodations ensuring our group had the most amazing experience, inviting yoga and meditation practices, beautiful welcoming and closing ceremonies, personal attention and care and so much more! Learning the absolute value in creating a daily routine of movement and self-reflection, first thing in the morning was in and of itself, life altering for me. My heart still feels giddy with excitement when I think about the amazing things I experienced on retreat with Laurita. I can not think of one thing that I wished were different. My experience on this trip was life altering and soul expanding. There are so many ways which my life has been positively impacted. I carry forward, each and every day, a heart-felt appreciation and deep gratitude for all that she provided for us."

​

 

"Laurita was definitely my inspiration to do a trip like this. After hearing her stories about travelling and the life changing moments made me feel like it was something I needed to experience for myself. Being a mom of three boys and the constant craziness in life made me feel like I had lost myself and I needed to reconnect. Laurita and the group of ladies I was with made my leaps out of my comfort zone feel safe and easy. The support, connections, and memories made have filled my heart with so much hope and joy. For once in my life I’ve finally realized how important it is for me to be happy and what it is that truly makes me happy. The workshops and circle time with the group forced me out of my comfort zone to talk about things that I had held inside for so long. I always felt safe, supported, and loved in this process that allowed me to be the person I want to be. I had only done yoga a handful of times in my life and never really practiced meditation. It really opened my eyes as to how much it helped with my anxiety and to calm my mind. Laurita isn’t just running a retreat with a schedule of workshops and yoga. She is constantly sharing her time and connecting with everyone involved in various different and very personal ways. You leave this experience knowing that you have made a friend for life. She goes above and beyond to make every woman feel incredibly special. Put aside any doubts and listen to the inner calling that is pulling you toward doing this. You will never regret it."

​

​

"Holding space for someone without judgement allows that person to be vulnerable and open and Laurita holds that space for everyone. Having our sacred sisterhood circles was my most favourite time of the day. Laurita would check in with us several times a day. She is selfless and always made sure to accommodate us regardless of what she may have planned out. Our well-being was always first and foremost.  When you make a commitment to elevate your life and do something for you, change is inevitable. To have someone by your side during that transition is invaluable - Laurita is that person by your side."

​

​

"Being present for this retreat was truly life changing. Every single part of my being was open and ready for the biggest transformation of my life and that’s exactly what I got from this experience. You can’t describe the way you feel when you are there except for the fact that it felt like how you would imagine heaven to be, but on earth. All my anxieties disappeared like a fish does down a stream.  I flowed with every feeling I felt and was truly present in my mind and in my body throughout the whole experience. Not a day goes by that I don’t reminisce about this stunningly beautiful place and experience. Laurita is a beautiful soul, she made me feel so comfortable and allowed the space everyone needed mentally and physically to transform and face who they really were with all the vulnerabilities that came along with the experience."

​

​

"Making the decision to invest this time, money & energy into me was not easy, a big decision and I'm so glad I said YES.  I was drawn to this retreat because Laurita was leading it.  I knew I loved her style & approach as a yoga teacher & life coach and I also knew she'd be an amazing leader of our time, energy, excursions & healing. Laurita was generous with her time, fully present, flexible and supportive !  The retreat property was beautiful and peaceful - not describable in words!  The food - fresh and delicious - much of it grown on the property.  And the spa services - heavenly!"

​

​

"I discovered so much about myself while I was on retreat.  I formed new beliefs and a new level of trust.  Trust in my journey.  Trust in the universe.  Trust that what is, is meant to be.  I had amazing experiences with meditation that I hadn't before.  I met new people who will stay in my heart forever.  We had an incredible group together!  I came back a better version of me, a more authentic version of me.  And each day I take a moment before I get out of bed to continue to my gratitude practice that I fully embraced while in Bali.  I will forever and ever be grateful for my experience in Bali and to Laurita for leading me there and leading me through."

​

​

"When I arrived on retreat all of my anxieties had just vanished and it was the most incredible feeling.  It seemed as if nothing mattered.  The sights and sounds were a beautiful distraction from the chaos that was going through my mind just one day prior to landing in this beautiful country.  We were greeted at the airport by Laurita, our retreat leader, with water, healthy snacks, you name it she had it.  The grounds we stayed on were considered sacred and safe from the outside world.  The meals everyday were incredible.  We woke up everyday for a silent yoga and meditation practice.  It was truly transformational.  I was exposed to who I truly was in Bali, there was no more hiding or feeling unworthy.  I was enough.  I felt like I was accepted and more importantly I was happy.  I had never been that happy in my entire life.  It was indescribable how alive and present I felt, it was surreal."

​

 

"I joined Laurita and a group of amazing strong women in Bali on retreat. At the time, I knew the trip was going to be amazing, but there was no preparing for the transformational energy and beauty that I got the pleasure of experiencing. From the second I stepped foot in Indonesia, change started taking place within myself. The lush tropical jungles, the amazing locals who make you feel at home, and of course Laurita, all made for the most magnificent trip."

​

​

"Laurita provided a mind, body, and soul experience that allowed me to quiet my mind and open my heart and truly experience the calmness of being one with my mind and body, and of all things I would say this was one of the most powerful moments I had experienced. The bond built within our tribe of women was remarkable.  We laughed, cried, and connected with one another, and it did not take long before these complete strangers felt like family that I had known my whole life.  We experienced a shift together, and because of this will forever be bonded."

​

​

"Life gets busy, it's so easy to lose sight of ourselves and what our body and souls need and this retreat is tailor made to help you focus on reviving yourself and connecting with yourself in a way that doesn't seem possible. I am so excited to join this retreat again, and I cannot wait to reconnect with myself as well as to connect with the amazing women embarking on this journey of self-realization and self-love."

​

"From the moment I signed up, up to this very day I sit and write this testimony, Laurita beautifully led and supported me and every sister alike. She held great space for each one of us. It’s truly remarkable what she provides as a leader/facilitator of this retreat and any future retreats.  The difference I recognized of Laurita’s retreat and what I know of comparable retreats/leaders, is that Laurita leads this from a deep, pure, and natural passion, and it was evident almost instantly of the careful thought, consideration, and intuition that Laurita put forth to have this
be a multi leveled experience for all. Bali is a beautiful place as is, but nothing, and I mean nothing would have
made this experience what it was without Laurita’s skills, experience, leadership, and natural magic. Every detail I appreciated, every workshop I learned something either of myself or for use to bring home to continue with
bettering myself. I have made friendships and bonds with the Bali Babes that I know will last my lifetime. I’m so grateful for choosing this commitment to myself.  If you are considering embarking on a ReWilding the Feminine retreat with
Laurita Gorman, I would simply say, make it happen, you wont regret it."

​

"During my private session with Laurita while on retreat I started a healing process. Healing work can be challenging and Laurita makes it all the more easy with her genuine compassion for others, her education, and life experiences.  I thoroughly enjoyed the workshops while on retreat, which ranged from deep and emotional sessions to fun and joyful ones. They are a wonderful opportunity to get to know your sisters in circle, as well as learn how to accept and define yourself.  In each workshop, Laurita provides tools that help us to learn about ourselves and start living as who we are in a space that’s empowering and accepting. To anyone who is interested in a retreat with Laurita, be prepared to learn about yourself, be willing to test your limits, say yes to trying new things, and most importantly....  go have fun, it’s worth it."
