TESTIMONIALS
 

 

"The retreat was an amazing opportunity for heart-centered self-discovery. I went into the experience with trepidation and, with most experiences in life, you get out what you put in. With the wonderful, skillful guidance and safe space created by Jeri and Daemond in the Tiger Temple and the love and support from the other attendees, I was able to step way outside my comfort zone and learn so much about myself and tools for ongoing growth in a week that would have taken much longer, if even possible, through my personal practices."

- Cory

"My time at Villa Sumaya retreat has been truly remarkable, leaving an indelible mark on me. Throughout the retreat, I have undergone a profound journey of self-discovery, peeling away layers to uncover my authentic self. With each session, I gained deeper insights into my emotions, unearthed and healed past traumas, and ultimately connected with my true essence. The unwavering love and support from Dae, Jeri, and the entire group were essential in my transformative journey. Their genuine care and encouragement guided me every step of the way. I'll forever cherish the love-filled atmosphere and the profound experiences I encountered at this extraordinary retreat, set against the breathtaking backdrop of Lake Atitlán, which truly stands as one of the world's most enchanting destinations."

- K

When I first heard about the retreat I was curious about attending but also apprehensive. Jeri and Daemond were encouraging and really made enormous efforts to answer all my questions and guide my thinking and confidence to attend. Villa Sumaya was a beautiful location in every way. The location was serene and peaceful, the food was deliciously prepared, all the spaces in the centre held a special ambiance that was calming and peaceful. As a result of this beautiful facility the entire group was immediately relaxed and immersed in the sessions so thoughtfully facilitated by Jeri and Daemond throughout the entire week. Each session brought a different perspective on self-discovery and exploration into living a more loving and meaningful life. Everyone in the group developed close, respectful and loving relationships with one another. The fire, sweat lodge and cacao ceremonies brought a sacred connection to the culture of Guatemala. I would highly recommend this retreat to anyone that is looking to put a pause in their life and find a new pathway to living a more balanced and connected life with themselves and those they love and cherish.

- Evonne B.

"For me, the whole 6 day experience was transformative. From the beginning to the end, I felt safe and welcome which allowed me to let go and relax. I was able to fully participate in what was offered without having to worry about anything. Jeri and Dae were able to create an environment where we were challenged but supported to "dig in deep". For the first time in years, I felt a sense of pure joy as well as connection to my newly found tribe.
I was able to experience emotions in a way I wouldn't be able to do at home, in my regular life. I saw how every day I grew in my ability to trust others, support them and let myself be supported, and experience love that is not conditioned to anything."
- Jana B.

TESTIMONIALS FROM PREVIOUS EVENTS

 

Jeri and Daemond are lovely and loving teachers that kindly guided us during very intensive processes with such peace and compassion. I respect their experience and knowledge and was honoured to learn from them and also have fun with them! I would recommend this retreat to others. My experience in Panama with Jeri and Daemond was transformative. I returned cleansed, calm, and smiling, feeling informed about myself and full of love. ~ Stella A.

I got and overall feeling of groundedness that I took home with me and I continue to cultivate though the practice of qi gong, mediation, self-love, forgiveness of self, and others. I have the upmost respect for Jeri and Daemond. Absolutely, I would recommend this retreat to others. It helped me unblock some deep seated traumas. ~Tony R.

I wish for everyone who is hurting, expanding, wanting more out of life, healing, or wanting an open heart, to come to this and be prepared to transform their life. ~ Danielle

I highly, highly encourage this for those who are searching for healing and change in their lives. Loved it! ~ Wendy

Looking back to that dark time in my life, I cannot thank Jeri enough or give enough praise to the work she does. In 4 short, long but short, months I have made incredible progress. More than I made in all my previous 20 some years of therapies combined. I have had more earth shattering breakthroughs, more deep healing…more understanding of who I am than ever before. I have stopped using drugs and alcohol, stopped gambling…stopped hating myself. And for the first time in my life I am feeling the unfamiliar, delicious, beautiful sensation of loving myself…Thank you Jeri, you have saved my life…~ Maureen A.

The energy that emanates from Jeri Tourand, and her weekly circles perfectly named, “Living from Heart Center,” is astoundingly fulfilling. This envisioning of a tangible expression of a “Heaven on Earth,” is a unique experience that is full of authentic and genuine love; a real heart-felt approach in providing a pathway(s) to releasing the dis-ease that can potentially hinder our natural ability of the limitless expression of our divinity. These offerings of knowledge and human connection are something everyone should have the pleasure of experiencing. ~ Andrew

Wow! What an amazingly, breathtaking, mind-blowing, transformational weekend. Less than 3 months ago, I felt like I had no control; my life was falling apart before it had even had a chance to start. I was lost and grasping for something, anything. What I didn't realize is that there was a great divide within myself, causing me great emotional pain and suffering. I have so much gratitude, appreciation and love for the safe place created by so many amazing people this weekend. And of course my biggest thank you goes to Jeri for facilitating this incredible workshop and showing me that it is possible to reach a place of peace and self love. I see happy shiny light in my future and can't wait to see where this path takes me....Now at the end of the weekend I feel so confident about my life and my future. A confidence I didn’t know I was missing. I’m so looking forward to everything in my future, as I can move forward knowing I can trust not only myself, but existence. I feel like I’ve been given back my life, and I will always be so grateful. ~ Sierra
