Finding the magic of you again
I experienced the most nurturing and nourishing 2 days with Fay at Moongate retreats.
Fay is a gifted healer and space holder and knew exactly what to say and when to say it. Her words were like my soul talking to me and bought me great comfort, healing and many ‘aha’ moments. The combination of sessions with Fay in the high frequency caravan space, the nourishing food and the blissful surroundings was nothing short of magic.
Thank you for creating and facilitating such a healing, loving space for me.
